Hi I’m Vela!
My foster family describes me as “cuddly, fun, and good natured”. What a glowing review, right?? They also say I’m friendly with all humans, and super smart!
At home I’m a very well-behaved girl. I like to keep watch over things, and let my people know if anything suspicious (like a squirrel is approaching the perimeter). But don’t worry, my foster family says I’m not loud or disruptive, just an alerter! I never chew things up, I’m good in my crate overnight and during the day, and I’m okay with staying home alone too. I’m very polite with sharing my food and toys with humans, and I respect boundaries and am a good listener! I’m a curious girl, and I like to see what everyone is up to around the house, but I’m not clingy. My foster family says I’m the ideal blend of velcro dog and independent queen.
Speaking of independence, I’ll do best as the only dog in the house, because I like to keep my people for myself, and all the attention on me. Having doggy friends isn’t really of interest to me, when there are so many fun humans to cuddle, play with, and get snacks from.
I come with a super solid training background. I’ve completed a professional training program, and I love to learn! Keeping my brain busy is fun for me, and I’m very eager to please. I know a ton of tricks and commands, including ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘off’, ‘come’, ‘touch’, ‘leave it’ ‘crate,’ and ‘place’. I hope that my forever family will want to keep the training practice (and treats!) flowing! I also love puzzle toys and brain games. I’m a smart cookie, and I love working on a project like a snuffle mat or frozen kong.
When I’m not lounging at the house, or being a training superstar, I like to go on adventures! I’m the perfect errand buddy, because I love riding in the car, and I’ll happily sit up front and keep the driver company! I know I’m supposed to stay in the back, but it would be rude to not greet my chauffeur when they come back to the car after a stop, right??
If you’re looking for a top-notch doggy co-pilot, I might be the girl for you! I can’t wait to find my forever family, and go on all the adventures, and share all the snacks, and give all my love to them! If you think we might be a match, apply to adopt me today!
