History: Vanessa came into the shelter as a stray which is very common in this part of Tennessee and often due to dog dumping.

Vanessa is a very sweet dog and has gotten along well with every human and dog she has met! She is very playful and loves to play with toys.. especially balls! She knows to sit on command and further training should come easy to her as she is a very smart girl. She would love an active family that will take her on fun adventures and include her in their daily activities.
