Velma

My story

Arriving in New Jersey on June 28 is your new joyful, affectionate, and energetic companion, Velma! This 4.5-year-old, 52-pound Labradoodle is as sweet as she is spunky. With her warm eyes and sunny smile, she’s ready to bounce her way into your heart and home. Velma is: high-energy and loves to play, incredibly affectionate and people-focused, friendly with both dogs and cats, and food motivated — perfect for training and learning new tricks! While Velma doesn’t know any commands yet, her eagerness to please (especially when treats are involved!) makes her a quick learner. She would thrive with someone who’s excited to show her the ropes and match her enthusiasm for life. Whether you're looking for a hiking buddy, a snuggle partner, or just a fun-loving friend, Velma is ready to join the adventure.
