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;">High</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 is how enthusiastic she is! She will literally jump into doing her tricks when she hears the command!</span></i><br/><br/><b>Likes:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Riding in the car, going for hikes, playing with toys, taking naps</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hi Im Vela!</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">My foster family describes me as cuddly, fun, and good natured. What a glowing review, right?? They also say Im friendly with all humans, and super smart!</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;">Speaking of independence, Ill do best as the only dog in the house, because I like to keep my people for myself, and all the attention on me. Having doggy friends isnt really of interest to me, when there are so many fun humans to cuddle, play with, and get snacks from.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">I come with a super solid training background. Ive completed a professional training program, and I love to learn! Keeping my brain busy is fun for me, and Im very eager to please. I know a ton of tricks and commands, including sit, stay, down, off, come, touch, leave it crate, and place. I hope that my forever family will want to keep the training 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;">When Im not lounging at the house, or being a training superstar, I like 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;">If youre looking for a top-notch doggy co-pilot, I might be the girl for you! 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!
