My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Vega — your future adventure buddy, cuddle companion, and all-around lovable goofball!

Vega is an affectionate, playful girl who’s always ready to join you on a walk, chase after a ball, or leap into the air for an impressive catch. She’s a medium-energy pup who loves fun just as much as she loves relaxing beside her favorite people. Around humans, she shines — she adores meeting new friends, handles vet visits like a champ, and enjoys the company of older kids who understand her enthusiastic play style.

In the home, Vega is an absolute dream. She’s fully house-trained, non-destructive, and can be trusted to free-roam without worry. She knows all her basics — sit, stay, lay down, shake, and “go potty/outside.” She also travels beautifully in the car and makes an excellent road-trip companion. Bones and anything chewy are her favorite toys, and while she’s respectful of furniture, she’ll happily join you on the couch or bed with an invitation.

Vega’s ideal home is one where she can be the star of the show. She walks well around other dogs when given ample space, but she’s happiest not sharing her home with other pets. With her people-centered personality, she’s more than ready to be someone’s one-and-only and soak up all the love and attention she deserves.

If you’re looking for a loyal, silly, affectionate companion with tons of love to give, Vega just might be your perfect match.
