Heddy

Animal Profile: Heddy is a 2-year-old (DOB 12/16/23) Dutch Shepherd Malinois mix (DNA tested) female who was brought to Fresno Humane along with her littermates in 2023. She was adopted in December of that year, but returend to the rescue in December of 2025.

Foster Update:
Heddy is

a
little
firecracker. She is
smart,
eager
to
please,
and fun to
work
with.
She's
a
friendly
girl
who
can
be
a
bit
shy
when
meeting
new
people,
but
she
warms
up
quickly
and
once
she
does
her
playful
and
affectionate
personality
really
shines.
Heddy
is
both
crate
trained
and
house
trained,
and
she
loves
spending
time
playing
with
people
and
other
dogs.
Her
play
style
can
be
a
little
pushy
at
times,
so
she'd
do
best
with
a
balanced
dog
that
can
match
her
energy
and
set
clear
boundaries.
Heddy was returned to the rescue after a year with an adopter who, despite their best intentions, realized she was more dog than they were prepared for. During that time she picked up a few bossy habits, but since coming back she's been putting in the work. She's been training consistently and made great progress. Heddy has a lot of drive and would likely thrive in dog sports or other activities that give her both mental and physical outlets.
She'll
do
best
with
someone
experienced
with
working
breeds
who
understands
the
importance
of
structure,
training,
and
keeping
an
active
dog
engaged.
A
single-
family
home
with
people
who
have
the
time
and
commitment
to
continue
balanced
training
and
meet
her
exercise
needs
would
be
the
ideal
fit
for
this
bright,
energetic
girl. E collar experience or willingness to learn is a must.
