Meet Velveeta - a nearly 1.5-year-old Shepherd mix with the perfect mix of brains, energy, and affection packed into her 40-pound frame. This happy girl is always ready for the next adventure, whether that's hiking trails, going for runs, playing fetch in the backyard, or just being your constant sidekick through everyday life.

Velveeta is the definition of a fun-loving best friend. She's playful, social, goofy, and absolutely adores other dogs. She would thrive in a home with another active, playful dog who enjoys wrestling, zooming, and keeping up with her energy. She's also the kind of dog who would love an active person or family looking for a loyal companion to include in everything.

When the fun is over, Velveeta is incredibly loving and wants nothing more than to be near her people. She forms strong bonds, follows you around like your little shadow, and is happiest when she's included. She's crate trained, housebroken when kept on a schedule, and eager to please.

Like many young Shepherd mixes, Velveeta is smart, active, and happiest when she has both physical exercise and attention from her humans. She's still young, still playful, and still full of personality - the perfect age for someone looking for a dog they can truly build a life and adventures with.

Velveeta did test positive for ehrlichia exposure, which simply means she was exposed to a tick-borne illness at some point. She currently has no symptoms and feels fantastic. If treatment is ever needed in the future, it's simple and inexpensive.

If you're looking for a loyal adventure buddy, a playful dog for your current pup, or a happy-go-lucky best friend who's always ready for whatever comes next - Velveeta may be exactly who you've been missing.

Adoption is $300 which includes her spay, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention. To fill out an application for this animal or a general application click HERE.
