Meet Vina!
Vina is a sweet and sassy girl with plenty of personality. Her favorite things include carrying around plush toys, exploring the neighborhood on walks, and snoozing on her back as close to her people as possible.
She enjoys playing and cuddling with her mellow male pug foster brother, but she's definitely the boss of the relationship. She'd do best as an only dog or with a calmer, more submissive male dog, since she's definitely an alpha female. Her previous owners told us she's four years old.
Vina walks beautifully on leash and loves getting out for daily adventures, which is perfect because she's working on shedding a few pounds. Vina definitely needs to slim down to help with breathing, heart health, and her joints. She may occasionally bark at people or other dogs while on leash, but off leash she's incredibly social and will happily climb right into a new friend's lap for cuddles. We haven't tested her with cats, but she's very interested in them on walks and would likely chase them.
She's mostly potty trained and is getting used to the door door. With patience and reassurance, we're confident she'll be house trained once she's settled into a forever home. She's also crate trained, although she'd much rather be wherever her people are.
Vina came to us as an owner surrender after her family welcomed a new baby and could no longer provide the time and attention she deserved.
Overall, Vina is an easy, lovable companion. She isn't destructive, doesn't bark excessively, and does a wonderful job matching the energy of her people. Whether you're heading out for a walk, taking a car ride, or spending the evening curled up on the couch, Vina is happiest right by your side.
She's spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and being fostered in Sacramento, CA.
