LESLIE’S PET
OF THE WEEK!
HEIDI
Heidi Elkins
15 yrs old
My name is Heidi Elkins (aka Spoiled Princess) and I’m 15
years old. I’ve been a fixture at “Miss Leslie’s”
almost daily (including Saturdays) for about 9 years!
My mom says that being able to bring me to Leslie’s has been
a lifesaver for her because she never had to worry about me!
I absolutely love spending my days there, because I’m always
around nice humans and have designated myself the unofficial
“greeter!” Okay, that just means I bark when the
humans come in, but if I can get a treat out of it I’m a
happy girl. When my mom started bringing me for
daycare, it was mostly me and Miss Leslie hanging out and I
loved all the attention. I would sit by her feet when
she was grooming those other dogs. Of course, I still
get lots of attention – my mom says she doesn’t have to
spoil me cos everyone at Leslie’s does a very good job.
In the past couple of years I had eye surgery and lost one
eye and can’t see out of the other one. But I’m still
gorgeous and a fighter and except for the occasional bumps
into walls I get around pretty well! Things I love:
treats, my mom, my warm blankie, my Gran and “Aunt” Sabrina
– the other dachsie in our house, naps, tummy rubs, and
everyone at Leslie’s! Things I don’t love: going to
the vet (does anyone like that?!), baths, and being woken up
from my nap!
Porsha
About 1 year old
Hi,
My name is Porsha and I want to tell you about my life.
I am a Rottweiler mix and about 1 year old. I have
been bounced around and have lived in a few places over the
past year. I was placed in a killer shelter a few
months after I was born. I am not sure why I was not
wanted in my first home. I didn’t ask to be born.
Each day in the shelter I prayed for a forever home. A
rescue group in Austin saved me as I was set to be
euthanized! I did not understand why that was going to
happen either. All I wanted was to be loved!
The rescue group was very nice to me and got me in front of
the public. After a week in the rescue group, the
mommy I have today saved me on September 22, 2007! I
am in a forever home! I know she will not leave me.
I am an inside dog, but I have a dog door so I can go
outside whenever I want. There are pillows all over
the house. I sleep in a crate at night, which I didn’t
like at first, but I sure do now! At times, mommy lets
me sleep on my pillow in her bedroom. I have 2
sisters, Niko and Sammie. There are big huge
Dobermans. Niko and Sammie welcomed me into their home
as well! We have many toys to play with, I have food,
water, and vet care! I know I am loved! Look at
this darling face, why was I not wanted when I was born?
Mommy wants to make sure I have a lot of friends, too.
Her goal was to socialize me with other dogs. Very
important! Mommy takes me everyday to Leslie’s Pet
Purrfections for play-day. I have so much fun! I
see the same friends everyday, but also make new ones.
Mommy brings my lunch, so the staff puts me in a crate (I
don’t mind cause mommy trained me to love a crate) so I can
eat my lunch. Then I rest and back out running and
playing with all of my friends! When I go home, I
crawl over to my pillow and am pretty much out all night!
Thank you for reading my story!
Love,
Porsha
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Leslie's Pet Purrfections, Inc.
Your pets second home!
