This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

This little girl is as sweet and cute as they come! Heiress is a loving girl who appears to be a Shetland Sheepdog mix (Sheltie) around 6 years old. She loves to be with her people, and can often be found in your shadow. She is good with cats, children and passive dogs. She is leash trained, house trained and crate trained. She rides well in the car, is even-tempered, and is friendly when meeting new people. She can be spunky, playful and affectionate and she is also smart and gentle, and would do well with further training.

 

Sweet H eiress has proven herself to be a survivor; she is happy and affectionate, despite her hard start in life and recent medical issues. Heiress has been through a lot in her short life. She was surrendered to a Tennessee shelter in pretty bad condition. She had no fur from the waist down due to [easily fixed] grain allergies, and she had clearly had several litters of puppies. Shortly after coming into rescue, a malignan t mass was found and surgically removed from Heiress' breast tissue. The surgery report states g ood margins and an o ptimistic prognosis for h er quality o f life, but to be safe, Heiress' chest should be checked once a week by her people for any new lumps. She is on Benzapril (2.5mg) daily for a heart murmur and Benadryl (1 pill daily) for allergies. She is on a grain-free diet due to grain allergies and is doing well on it.
