Vela's Story

What a glowing review, right?? They also say I'm friendly with all humans, and super smart!</span></p><br/><br/><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When I'm in the right environment, I'm the perfect example of a 'house hippo', with my big head, happy tail, and penchant for snacks and couch time. I'll do best in an environment where I can chill, and don't have to worry about the overstimulating sights and sounds of city life. I also need to be the only dog in the house, because I like to keep my people for myself, and all the attention on me. I do really well with supervised play, and at doggy daycare, but having full-time doggy siblings isn't for me!</span></p><br/><br/><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, lets go back to talking about how smart I am! My favorite topic! I'm a start student, and I've even completed a professional training program! I love to learn, and I'm looking for a family that will enjoy training and helping me keep my skills fresh. I'm very eager to please, and I love practicing tricks and commands. I know a ton already, including 'sit', 'stay', 'down', 'off', 'come', 'touch', 'leave it' 'crate,' and 'place'. I also love puzzle toys and brain games like snuffle mats and frozen kongs.</span></p><br/><br/><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When I'm not lounging at the house, or being a training superstar, I like to go on adventures! I'm the perfect errand buddy, because I love riding in the car, and I'll happily sit up front and keep the driver company! I know I'm supposed to stay in the back, but it would be rude to not greet my chauffeur when they come back to the car after a stop, right??</span></p><br/><br/><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the day calls for a non-dog friendly trip, I'm okay with staying home alone! I'll guard the house from squirrels while my people are out, and be ready with the report once they get home. I'm very good in my crate during the day and overnight.</span></p><br/><br/><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you're looking for a super people-friendly, smarty-pants pup, I might be the girl for you! I can't wait to find my forever family, go on all the adventures, share all the snacks, and give all my love to them! If you think we might be a match, apply to adopt me today! </span></p> Please visit our website www.ruraldogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing dog and to see other dogs available for adoption!
