Velma is a medium-sized, spayed female mixed breed dog with a short coat in a beautiful red, chestnut, and orange color. Though we don't have her exact age, she is an adult. Velma is up to date on vaccinations and is ready for her new home in Lansing, MI.

About Velma

Velma is a lively four-year-old who thrives on attention from her people. This social pup is happiest when close by, eagerly awaiting pets and any delicious treats you might have. She loves playing with squeaky toys and can become quite attached to her favorites, so having a family that understands the value of trading toys rather than just taking them away will be important. For her new home, older children who can respect her boundaries around food and toys might be the best match. While she doesn't have experience with other dogs, Velma could form friendships if introductions are handled gradually and thoughtfully. Giving her space and her own belongings will help ease her into any new furry companions. If you're in search of a friendly, playful companion who comfortably shares affection, Velma could be just the right fit for you! She's spayed, microchipped, and her vaccinations are current. It's a good idea for the whole family to meet Velma before making a decision, so come visit her at the shelter or reach out for more details.
