About Heather

Heather is a sweet girl who was found as a stray with no identification. She's still a bit scared, and we're not sure what she's been through, but she's showing us her true colors to a few of our staff and volunteers. They describe her as cuddly and affectionate once she warms up. Heather needs a patient person who can help her build confidence and show her the love and security of a forever home.
