Story
Hi there, my name is Vanessa and I'm about 10 months old. I'm a really pretty young gal. If you have seen my pictures my coat is a reversed brindle. My Rescuers are guessing at my breed because sadly when I was found as a stray, I had no history about me. So, if you had to guess my breeding I'm a Cattle dog maybe mixed with Pitbull. What does that mean? I'm your All-American Mutt but I'm a smart All-American Mutt. As I mentioned I was found as a stray. I didn't know where my home was, so the AC Handlers brought me to a TN shelter. From there, I went on a van that they call the Freedom Ride. It's where a bunch of doggies and kitties drive for like forever up North. I saw my foster Mom when she opened the van, and I wasn't scared. I knew right then I my future is going to be much better than what I had in TN. I'm in a foster home that has other foster dogs that are close to my age or size, and we play all day long. We sleep in our own crates and I'm a good girl and don't make a mess. I will give out a yip or a bark when I need to go potty. I love getting my food in my crate and I look for more when the other dogs are done. Who would have thought being a foster doggie I would be so pampered. Speaking of being pampered, my foster Mom took me to the doggie vet and I woo-ed everyone. They thought I had a really pretty coat and they thought I was silly when I gave them kisses or did tricks for my treats. I know SIT and give PAW. My best command is "Vanessa, be pretty". Gees, that's a no brainer. I had to take a test that my doggie vet did for me and sadly the test results said I'm heartworm positive. My foster Mom said, "it's not our first time" and she made sure I went to all my doggie doctor visits for shots. I'm now all done with my heart worm treatment and the next part is for me to just chill. Sure, I'm a puppy and I get my occasional zoomies but I'm a chill gal. I like to lounge around on the couch or by your feet. I get to play with all the doggies here and there's cats too. I ignore the cats. I watch the other dogs get into their food or litterbox but not me - I rather play with dogs or my own toys. I love playing with a ball or a stuffed animal. I don't think I had any of those great toys when I lived in TN. I've been around kids and oh boy, do I like them. One day I am going to have a forever family of my own. While I wait for my family I will play with the other dogs and learn new things. I'm sure I'm going to get cuter. I weigh 42# now so I might grow up to be a medium-large size girl. Some might call that stocky. When I meet my forever family we can go for a walk, and I will show how well I listen and walk on a leash. Maybe when you bring me to your house, I will have my own doggie bed, or I can curl up on your lap when you watch TV. I will always be your loyal pup because you chose me and I promise to make you laugh. Can't wait to meet you!
