VELMA's Story

Velma is an early riser with plenty of energy and a real passion for playing with other dogs and kids. She's very food-motivated, which has helped her learn 'sit' and 'shake', and she's currently working on 'go to bed' at night. She'll try to beat you to the door and guilt-trip you into staying because she hates to see her people leave. She loves running around outside and chasing June bugs, and she's an overall energetic girl with an occasional cuddly side. Velma adores cheese, pretzels, and pup cups. If you are interested in adopting please email BARCfoster@houstontx.gov today!
