My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ADOPT OLGA!

American Staffy / German Shepherd mix (we have DNA results)
-Housebroken / crate-trained
-Sweet, fun, loving personality
-Loves other dogs / is cat curious/pesty
-Spayed & fully vetted, medium energy

Meet Olga! She is a petite, 45 pound pitbull/shepherd mix. She is around 4 years old and was picked up stray by animal control. She is a brindle cutie with an adorable vanilla swirl next to her nose.
If you have been looking for a nice medium sized dog that loves to play with other dogs, Olga is your gal! She is fostered with dogs & cats and is cat pesty/curious. Not aggressive towards them but better with no cats or dog savvy/playful cats that can give her a swat and put her in her place if needed. She is bouncy and happy to see her people, so may unintentionally knock down little kids, but still would likely make a great family dog with older/dog-experienced kids. She enjoys playing in the yard with her foster brothers and snuggling on the couch. She is medium energy – not super loud/energetic, and loves lounging on the couch.

She is spayed, vaccinated against distemper/parvo, rabies, bordetella, heartworm negative and on heartworm/flea and tick prevention, and microchipped. She is housebroken, crate trained and fully grown at 45 pounds.

Her adoption fee is $295.

Her foster mom has lots of pics & videos of Olga in her foster home, please email amandarescues78@gmail.com with questions.

Sound like a match? Visit www.heathersfosterdogs.org to fill out an application online, which will be forwarded to Olga’s foster mom. We are located in the south suburbs of Chicago, and adopt out to that general area and Northwest Indiana – we do not ship dogs.

Who We Look For

In short, Heather’s Foster Dogs is looking for responsible, dedicated, and loving pet owners for our foster animals. This means a couple of things:

-You feel that pets are an important part of the family. They do not spend their days and nights living outside in the yard, chained to a doghouse or locked up in a kennel. Pets belong safe and warm in your home.
-You understand that regular veterinary visits with a licensed veterinarian are important to maintaining the health and well being of your pet. This means regular exams, administering medication when prescribed, and keeping your pet up-to-date on vaccinations.
-You believe in POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT training only and will seek the help of an experienced professional trainer if necessary or recommended.
-You understand that adding a pet to your family is a commitment that should last for the ENTIRE LIFE OF THAT PET.

To adopt a dog from Heather’s Foster Dogs, you must…

-Be at least 21 years of age
-Have a valid form of identification (a driver’s license or
state ID)
-Verify that you are allowed to have a dog of the breed
and size where you currently live
-Understand that a fenced yard may be required for a
dog you are interested in
-Understand that training may be required for the dog
you are interested in
-Understand that HFD reserves the right to check
veterinarian and personal references
-Bring along all household members including any
resident dogs or children to meet the dog you hope to
adopt

TO ALL POTENTIAL ADOPTERS: Heather’s Foster Dogs is dedicated to eliminating shelter overcrowding once and for all. We understand the only way to really achieve this goal is by cutting down on the number of unwanted animals born every year. As such, HFD tirelessly promotes spay/neuter for all companion animals, and in fact requires this as part of our adoption agreement. If you currently own an animal that is intact (meaning it is NOT spayed/neutered), and there is no medical reason as to why your pet has not been spayed/neutered, HFD cannot in good faith approve you to adopt one of our foster animals.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Heather’s Foster Dogs does NOT ship animals. No matter where you live, no matter how far, you will be expected to meet with HFD in person for your adoption interview and pet pick up.

HFD reserves the right to refuse adoption to any applicant if we feel they are not the best fit for the animal they’ve applied to adopt.

And please, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Email Heather’s Foster Dogs at heathersfosterdogsinfo@gmail.com and we will be happy to speak with you further.

More about this rescue

Heather’s Foster Dogs strives to educate people through public interaction and to ease shelter populations by placing animals in temporary foster homes where we can address medical and behavioral problems while actively searching for permanent placement. Together, we seek to promote compassion and kindness to all animals, to increase awareness of companion animal overpopulation, and to advocate for responsible pet ownership.
