Vera's Story

Vera, an incredibly sweet 7-year-old Boxer mix was found alone in a park, resting under a tree almost as if she had chosen it as her safe place. She didn’t make a sound when help arrived — just calmly got up and followed along, trusting and gentle from the very start.<br/><br/>In foster care, Vera has shown what a lovely companion she is. At home, she’s peaceful and quiet, happy to nap nearby and keep you company without asking for much. She has the kind of presence that makes a house feel calm and settled.<br/><br/>But don’t be fooled — she still has a spark.<br/><br/>Every so often, she has what we lovingly call “gremlin activation.” She’ll roll around, grumble, and let out a few soft, silly barks, reminding everyone that there’s plenty of joy and playfulness tucked inside her older soul.<br/><br/>She loves the dog park, where she really comes alive. Watching her trot around with other dogs, you’d never guess she was once lost. Out there, she’s confident, happy, and clearly in her element.<br/><br/>Vera is the perfect match for someone looking for a low-key companion with a playful twist — a dog who’s calm at home, social outside, and endlessly lovable. All she needs now is a forever home where she can nap peacefully, play freely, and let her gremlin shine whenever the mood strikes.
