Meet Vanna! This approximately 4-year-old German Shepherd mix is a true gem with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She's playful, affectionate, and a devoted "velcro dog" who loves to be close to her people. Once Vanna bonds with you, she'll be happiest by your side, whether you're relaxing at home or embarking on an adventure. She has medium energy and would thrive in an active home. She enjoys games of fetch and going for walks, and she's a great traveler in the car. At home, she's been trusted to roam freely and is not destructive, as her main desire is to be near her favorite humans.
Ideal Home
Vanna would do best as the only dog in the home. She can be playful with very well-matched, larger dogs (around 90 lbs or more) if there are no resources to guard, and she's good at reading when another dog is finished playing. She's not fond of smaller dogs and can sometimes be reactive on leash depending on how other dogs behave towards her. Vanna is reserved with strangers initially but is friendly and warms up with time. She hasn't been around children, but she might do well with older children (12+) who can respect her space and boundaries.
Ongoing Health
Vanna is spayed and vaccinated. 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. She will need continued support with leash manners, and she is still polishing up her potty training, with occasional accidents. Vanna is crate trained. With patience, consistency, and understanding, she has so much potential to continue growing.
