Dog Finder

Hi ! My name is HEIDI , a 14 yo Italian Greyhound with a dainty frame and very gentle soul ! ?? I spent my entire life with one loving owner and when they passed away, my world changed in a big way. I am still learning how to feel settled again, so please be patient with me while I find my footing. Even with all the changes,I remain a very sweet girl who truly wants to love and be loved. I get along well with other dogs in my foster home and enjoy their quiet companionship.I’m not sure how I feel about cats or children yet , simply because I’ve never been around them. I am improving on my leash and enjoy quiet strolls. I’ve never been crate trained and crates are unfamiliar to me, so I would prefer a home that does not require one. Potty habits needed a little reinforcement, but am trying really hard! I am getting better at using a potty pad and going outside - especially when the weather cooperates, since cold weather is really not my thing. Being dainty has its perks, but it also makes me appreciate warmth and comfort. I was known be a lap dog in my previous life, and while I can be a bit stand offish right now, my foster mom thinks that’s just my heart healing from such a big loss. What DOES come through loud & clear is my love of food ! I am very fond of it and an expert countertop investigator.if something smells good to me — so keep those snacks out of reach ?? My favorite things are gentle neck scratches, and relaxing massages. When you do that , I melt . I may be quiet and reserved at first, but I am incredibly sweet, and once I feel safe , I know I will bring warmth, tenderness, and companionship to the lucky person who opens their heart and home to me. If you are looking for a soft, loving senior who will quietly warm your heart, I might just be your girl. I am a healthy one & remember my breed can live to be quite old so I feel we would have A LOT of good times ahead ! Heidi is available for adoption through Indiana Italian Greyhound rescue.
