About Velveteen

Meet Velveteen, the sweetest and gentlest lady you’ll ever encounter. With her charming bunny-like hop and an absence of a tail, she’s earned her whimsical name. Velveteen prefers to watch the world go by, often from a cozy spot by the window or on the patio. This intelligent pup is motivated by treats and responds eagerly to commands like “sit,” “paw,” and “lie down.” As the ultimate cuddle bug, she thrives on companionship and would flourish in a home where she’s always near her human. Velveteen enjoys car rides and is both house trained and crate trained. She behaves well during bath time, and walks gracefully on a leash. While her petite size makes longer walks a bit challenging, she loves to be outdoors. Velveteen shares her space comfortably with a senior dog friend and shows interest in meeting new canine and feline companions with proper introductions. She is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and has had recent bloodwork done. This loving dog is ready to find her forever home in Austin, TX. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
