Heidi is downright hilarious — her quirky antics never fail to brighten the day. She’s mastered the art of folding herself in half just to snuggle up tight, and somehow, twisting upside down on the couch is her idea of the perfect lounging position.

This independent lady knows how to keep herself entertained like a champ. She’ll toss her toys high into the air in the yard and catch them all by herself — no human needed. But honestly? She’d much rather have you join in on the fun. Bonus points if you smoosh her adorable face and tell her she’s the prettiest pup ever.

After playtime, Heidi’s happy to curl up beside you for some serious couch snuggles while you binge-watch your favorite show.

When it’s time for work, Heidi’s totally cool chilling in her crate, happily chewing on a bone and dreaming of her next jolly ball. Just don’t forget to swing by the store and pick up some tasty treats on your way home — she’s not picky, but she does appreciate a little thoughtfulness. After all, she’s got a big heart and high expectations for love!
