Velma

Velma is a radiant yellow Lab mix who is ready to bring sunshine into the right home. At around 5 years old, she offers a beautiful balance of playful energy and gentle affection. Velma’s golden coat glows in the sunlight, and her soulful brown eyes reflect her kind and loving nature. She greets the world with a wagging tail and a hopeful heart, and once she feels safe, her sweetness truly shines. Velma enjoys the outdoors, especially leisurely walks and exploring new scents at her own pace. After spending time outside, she’s more than happy to relax nearby, whether that’s curling up for quiet companionship or stretching out in a sunny spot for a peaceful nap. While Velma is incredibly sweet and loving, she has experienced past trauma involving men. Because of this, she needs extra time, patience, and gentle introductions with men under 50. She has consistently done well with men over 50 and continues to build confidence every day. With understanding and a calm approach, Velma warms up beautifully and forms deep, loyal bonds. If you’re looking for a loving dog who simply needs a little extra understanding to truly blossom, Velma may be the perfect fit. Jinkies—this special girl is ready for her happily ever after.
