Meet Vega! This gentle, timid girl is slowly learning that people can be kind and safe. While she may take time to trust, the reward is a deeply affectionate companion who absolutely loves giving kisses once she feels comfortable. Vega is playful with other dogs in her foster home and gains confidence from canine companions, and she would benefit from another confident dog in the home. She is very food motivated and displays excellent potty manners. Vega crates wonderfully and sees her crate as a safe space.
Ideal Home
Vega is timid and easily startled, especially if she feels cornered or pressured. She needs a calm, patient adopter willing to move at her pace. She is still nervous about leash handling and direct eye contact, but is thriving with gentle guidance, routine, and reassurance.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
