Vela's Story

<b>House trained: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes</span><br/><br/><b>Energy level: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Medium</span><br/><br/><b>Noise level: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barks occasionally</span><br/><br/><b>My foster guardian says: </b><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">My favorite thing about Vela are the hilarious sounds she makes to communicate with her people!

What a glowing review, right?? They also say Im friendly and easy-going, up for any kind of adventure, and the perfect balance of sassy and sweet!</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">At home Im a very well-behaved girl. I like to keep watch over things, and let my people know if anything suspicious (like a squirrel is approaching the perimeter). But dont worry, my foster family says Im not loud or disruptive, just an alerter! I never chew things up, Im good in my crate overnight and during the day, and Im okay with staying home alone too. Im very polite with sharing my food and toys with humans, and I respect boundaries and am a good listener! Im a curious girl, and I like to see what everyone is up to around the house, but Im not clingy. My foster family says Im the ideal blend of velcro dog and independent queen.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">Being such a good listener, I know a lot of tricks! I know sit, stay, down, off, come, touch, and some fancy obedience trial ones too! I like to learn, and hope that my forever family will want to keep the trick practice (and treats!) flowing! I also love puzzle toys and brain games. Im a smart cookie, and I love working on a project like a snuffle mat or frozen kong.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">Something Im working on is being calm outside the house, since I can get overstimulated when there is too much going on. Im practising walking on a loose leash even when I have something cool to chase, but my foster family says Im easy to re-direct if something startles me or if I start getting distracted. They think once the D.C. sidewalks are back to not being pure ice, I might be a little more confident walking around.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Im not lounging at the house, or being a training superstar, I love to go on adventures! Im the perfect errand buddy, because I love riding in the car, and Ill happily sit up front and keep the driver company! I know Im 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><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">I cant wait to find my forever family, and go on all the adventures, and 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><br/><br/> Please visit our website www.ruraldogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing dog and to see other dogs available for adoption!
