Heidi is a German-Belgian shepherd rescue found in a storm drain in Houston, TX with her litter of half-Lab puppies, born when Heidi was less than 1 year old. Her rescuer was Sonya Fitzpatrick, formerly the “Pet Psychic” on Animal Planet. After moving to L.A., Heidi turned actress after being discovered by an animal talent scout while playing ball in the park. While pursuing her acting career, she now shares a by-line with Diane on a weekly column for the Studio City Patch.
