About Vera

Meet Vera, a sweet little girl who weighs around 10 pounds. This tiny package has a tender heart and extensive backstory. Coming from a hoarding situation, she spent much of her life in a kennel without the love and attention every dog deserves. Vera can be a bit timid when meeting new people, but she’s not unfriendly. She’s still discovering that people can be kind and that love is something to trust. With patience, time, and reassurance, you’ll uncover the wonderful personality beneath her shy exterior. Once she feels safe, Vera is incredibly loving and makes an excellent lap dog, cherishing every moment spent close to her person. Given her background, she would thrive in a calmer home with an older individual or family who understands that meaningful relationships take time to develop. Vera has already come a long way, and she’s ready to discover what true love feels like. If your heart is patient and your lap is open, Vera might just be the perfect match for you.
