Meet Vanna, an approximately 4-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her personality! She's a playful, affectionate "velcro dog" who adores being close to her people. Once Vanna bonds with you, she's happiest right by your side, whether you're relaxing at home or embarking on an adventure. She has medium energy levels and would thrive in an active home. Fetch and walks are her jam, and she's a fantastic car companion, making her the perfect partner for outings. Vanna is also trusted to free roam in the home and is not destructive – she simply wants to be near her favorite humans.
Ideal Home
Vanna would do best as the only dog in the home. While she can be playful with very well-matched, larger dogs (around 90 lbs or more) provided there are no resources to guard or compete over, she is not a fan of smaller dogs. She can sometimes be reactive on leash depending on how other dogs behave towards her, so continued leash work and training will be important. Vanna is reserved with strangers at first but is friendly and warms up with time. She may do well with older children (12+) who can respect her space and boundaries.
Ongoing Health
Vanna is spayed and vaccinated. Like many dogs who’ve been through a lot, Vanna is still working through some challenges. She has experienced significant trauma and is actively working on negative behaviors around other dogs.
Training & Support
Vanna has some resource guarding issues with food, toys, and people, will need continued support with leash manners, and is still polishing up her potty training with the occasional accident. She is crate trained. With patience, consistency, and understanding, she has so much potential to continue growing.
