About Vela

Born July 6, 2019, Vela is a gorgeous female German Shepherd mix who is ready for that person or family to call her own! For the last 6 months, Vela has been in training to be the best dog she can be. She’s very high energy and would love nothing more than a playmate of similar size in her forever home – preferably male and one that would let her “lead” her way. Vela could also be happy as an only dog as long as it was an active home where she was part of the family. Vela has that typical shepherd aloofness when meeting someone new and tends to warm up quicker to women. Once Vela knows you’re one of the good guys, she bonds deeply to her person and listens well to commands. Vela is not a fan of small children and due to her high prey drive cannot be in a home with cats or small animals. Vela would be a wonderful running, hiking, or outdoor buddy. She also is completely content chilling with her people on the sofa! Vela needs lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation to keep her centered and happy. She is protective of her yard and home and will alert strangers with a large warning bark but is otherwise fairly quiet at home. Vela has great leash manners and enjoys car rides because that means a new adventure! We are confident Vela’s best fit home is out there! Could it be yours?

Ideal Home

Vela needs an active home that can provide plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation. She would do best with a confident, male dog companion who will let her take the lead. Vela is not a fan of small children and cannot be in a home with cats or other small animals due to her high prey drive. A secure 6-foot fence is required.
