Meet Vanna, a delightful approximately 4-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her personality! Vanna is a true "velcro dog" who thrives on closeness with her people. She's playful, affectionate, and happiest right by your side, whether you're relaxing at home or embarking on an adventure. Vanna has medium energy and would be a perfect fit for an active home that enjoys playing fetch and going for walks. She's a great traveler and enjoys car rides, making her an ideal companion for outings. At home, she's trusted to roam freely and shows no destructive behavior, as her focus is always on her favorite humans.
Ideal Home
Vanna would thrive in an active home where she can be your constant companion. She is best suited as the only dog in the home, though she can be playful with very well-matched, larger dogs (around 90 lbs or more) if there are no resources to guard. She is not a fan of smaller dogs and can sometimes be reactive on leash depending on other dogs' behavior. Vanna is reserved with strangers initially but is friendly and warms up over time. She may do well with older children (12+) who can respect her space and boundaries.
Ongoing Health
Vanna has experienced significant trauma and is actively working through some challenges. She has resource guarding issues with food, toys, and people.
Training & Support
Vanna needs continued support with leash manners and is still polishing up her potty training, with occasional accidents. She is crate trained and settles nicely into a home routine. With patience, consistency, and understanding, Vanna has so much potential to continue growing.
