Meet Vanna! She's an approximately 4-year-old, spayed, and vaccinated German Shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Vanna is playful, affectionate, and a true "velcro dog" who loves to be close to her people. Once she bonds with you, she's happiest by your side, whether you're relaxing at home or heading out for an adventure. Vanna has medium energy and would thrive in an active home. She loves a good game of fetch and going for walks, and she's a great car rider, making her a fun companion for outings. At home, she's trusted to roam freely and is not destructive; she just wants to be near her favorite humans.
Ideal Home
Vanna is best suited as the only dog in the home. She can be playful with very well-matched dogs, generally larger dogs around 90 lbs or more, as long as there are no resources to guard or compete over, and she's good at picking up cues when another dog is done playing. She's not a fan of smaller dogs and can sometimes be reactive on leash depending on how other dogs behave toward her. Vanna is reserved with strangers at first but remains friendly and warms up with time. She hasn't been around kids yet, but she may do well with older children (12+) who can respect her space and boundaries.
Ongoing Health
Vanna is spayed and vaccinated.
Training & Support
Vanna is still working through some challenges due to past trauma. She has resource guarding issues with food, toys, and people, and will need continued support with leash manners. She is still polishing up her potty training with occasional accidents but is crate trained. Continued leash work and training will be important. With patience, consistency, and understanding, Vanna has so much potential to continue growing.
