Vada may be a little timid at first as she tries to figure out new places, new people, new animals, new smells and new sounds, but once she settles in she is your typical goody teenage gal! From what we have observed, we are guessing Vada was never socialized as a puppy nor established a strong human animal bond with whomever cared for her. It appears that Vada was abandoned in the country and was on her own for an undetermined period of time before she was befriended by a Good Samaritan. The Good Samaritan had hoped to keep Vada as her own but there were adjustment issues with Vada and the resident dog that made a happy household a challenge and so Vada was surrendered to the dog shelter. Vada did not do well in the shelter environment and so was transferred to rescue so we could learn more while we looked for a new place for her to call home. It took Vada a few days to decompress and settle in but she is truly thriving in her foster home where there is routine, discipline, and other dogs to look up to. Vada has found a big sister and best friend in a Mastiff mix and found a dad and grumpy teacher in a senior Shepherd mix. She is an active gal who loves to run and play, indifferent to the weather or time of day. She is crate trained and appears housebroken as well. She is learning to walk on leash with a gentle leader or harness lead but still needs some work with pulling, exuberant jumping and focus. She loves her food and is getting much more comfortable with travel. We estimate Vada to be about 2yrs old, she is approximately 60lbs and lean, and would do best in an active home dedicated to continuing her training and socialization. $350 Children 12+ If you would like to meet VADA please complete an application for adoption, copy and paste this link into your browser https://fs17.formsite.com/adoptionscc/form1/index Any vaccinations/boosters due after adoption is finalized will be the new owner's responsibility. All animals are current at time of adoption but in some cases a booster series is required or a vaccine cannot be given due to age and cannot be completed prior to adoption Our adoptable animals come to us from various sources, the most common being from an animal shelter who is unable to handle their physical or mental needs in the shelter setting but believe with the appropriate care, they can become adoptable.
