Heidi - In Foster Care

 

Name: Heidi
Sex: Female (not altered)
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Age: 9 weeks
Location: Huntington Beach, CA

Owner Info:  Heidi's caregiver's family was at an animal shelter a couple of weeks ago looking for their cat who had gotten outside. As they were waiting for the gates to open, a man came to turn in a white Australian shepherd puppy. He said that he bred the mom and all the puppies came out blind or deaf, but this one was the worst one. The other ones he said he could still sell.  They couldn’t let her be put to sleep which they assumed would be done, so they brought her home. They have tried to find her a home through networking, Craigslist etc., but have had no luck.  Unfortunately, their family just can’t keep her after this week. They will be travelling and cannot board her since she is so young. They are now hoping and praying for a reputable rescue to be able to take her under their wing to find her a home. They say that they will sponsor her care until she finds a forever home. Per her caregivers, Heidi is now about 9 weeks old, had her first vaccination and is in overall good health. They believe that she is completely deaf, but can see shadows. She has no issues whatsoever playing with their other two dogs, their cat (who came back home that next afternoon), and their three kids (range in ages from 1-8), and they feel that Heidi adapts well to new situations and surroundings. They thank you in advance for your kind consideration in this matter.
