My story

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

Meet Vesta! ✨🐾

Vesta is an absolute princess in the making - confident, curious, and fully aware of how gorgeous she is. With her mom’s light brown, almost reddish coat and a stunning wave-like pattern along her neck, she turns heads without even trying. In her foster home she has showed she’s comfortable being handled by new people, happily soaking up pets and attention, and calmly coexisting with a resident cat.

One of the bigger pups of the litter, Vesta is playful and adventurous, often close behind the more curious siblings and always eager to see what’s happening next. When playtime winds down, she’s all about the cuddles - especially with her mom or snuggled into a warm puppy pile. Her favorite spot? Curled up with her sister on the heating pad, where it’s extra cozy.

Vesta loves being the center of attention, whether that means lounging in your lap or flashing her signature little smirk when she’s picked up. She’s a food-loving, chunky sweetheart who was the first to embrace weaning, and all signs point to her growing into a big, affectionate cuddle bug. If you’re looking for a confident pup with beauty, charm, and plenty of love to give, Vesta is ready to steal your heart. 💖
