About Vannah

Vannah is a 5-year-old, 22-pound Chihuahua mix bursting with personality and loyalty. This charming girl loves being by your side throughout the day, closely following you from room to room, even during bathroom breaks! While she enjoys the company of easygoing dogs, she would thrive best as the only pet in a household where she can shine as the star.

She is fully house trained and prefers her potty breaks outside, though she will use a potty pad if needed. Vannah’s love of food keeps her motivated and engaged, so homes will need to secure snacks around her.
