About Velvet

Velvet is more than just her name; she embodies the charm of black velvet and the resilience of a survivor. Rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico, this sweet girl is currently in a foster home in Lyndeborough, NH, where she patiently awaits the family she deserves. At just 18 months and 39 pounds, Velvet was once on the brink of being part of a trap-neuter-return program. Abandoned on a beach with no food or water, she arrived at rescue weighing a mere 20 pounds. Yet, she emerged from her ordeal with an unwavering spirit and a heart full of love. Now healthy and thriving, Velvet is a social butterfly who adores people and is fantastic with children and other dogs. Her affectionate, gentle demeanor makes her an instant favorite, whether she's joining in on a family adventure or snuggling up for a quiet evening at home. Fully vetted, spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, she is ready to embark on the next chapter of her life. If you’re searching for a loyal and loving companion, Velvet is ready to meet you and start a bright new journey together!
