Vermilion is the kind of dog who wants to be close at all times, like a joey in a kangaroo’s pouch. Volunteers say she is calm, affectionate, and genuinely gentle—content to melt into your lap despite her larger size. She sits patiently for her leash and pays no mind to distractions in the shelter; once outside, she relaxes even more. Vermilion plays well with her kennelmate and has proven sociable in regular playgroups, always ready to chase, wrestle, or simply roll in the grass. She quickly becomes attached to her person, happy to shadow you from place to place and eager for every scrap of attention. Out on day trips, she greeted students with quiet charm, opening up more as she settled in. She’s described as active, playful, and clever, but also capable of full-on couch potato mode whenever you’re ready for down time. Housebroken, skilled at tricks, and a natural leash walker, Vermilion is a practical fit for someone wanting a velcro companion. Looking for endless snuggles and a steady, loyal sidekick? She’s ready to hop right into your life. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
