Vanna

My story

Meet Vanna! Vanna is a certified cuddle queen with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She’s the ultimate velcro dog—she wants nothing more than to be by your side (or on your lap) 24/7. Loud snores, endless kisses, and hilarious “shadowing” behavior (yes, even in the bathroom) are all part of the package!Vanna is fully house-trained, does okay in a crate (though she may whine at first), and settled into her foster home quickly. She has some separation anxiety and prefers a home where someone is around most of the time. For this reason, she’s cannot live in apartments or homes with shared walls.She loves stuffed animals (especially shredding them), playing fetch, chewing, and snuggling up for naps. She has a medium-to-high energy level and would thrive with a person who enjoys walks, hikes, or backyard ball-chasing sessions. When her exercise needs are met, she’s a total couch potato.Vanna’s social skills with other animals are still being evaluated. She can bark at dogs during walks when she’s not alone and may do best as the only dog or with a calm, respectful canine companion (particularly not another dominant female). She’s untested with cats but may have a tendency to chase. With kids, she’s been gentle with older ones in limited interactions but may be too enthusiastic for little ones at this stage.Vanna takes Benadryl for suspected allergies and continues to thrive with love and structure. She’s goofy, affectionate, a little needy, and 100% loyal.If you're looking for a best friend who will never let you go to the bathroom alone again, Vanna is your girl.If you are interested in Vanna, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.
