Meet Vela, the charming pit mix on a mission to find her forever family! Surrendered to the shelter when her previous family had too many pets, Vela is ready to embark on a new adventure filled with love and companionship.
From day one, Vela has been outgoing and full of love, always eager to make a new human friend. Her warm and friendly nature is simply irresistible.
Vela may appear a bit apprehensive around other dogs, but who can blame her after her previous living situation? She’s ready to find a loving family that she can shower with all the love and affection she has to offer – and trust us, she has plenty to give!
No more outdoor living for this sweet girl; Vela is eagerly looking forward to the luxury of indoor life with a family to call her own.
Vela weighs 50lbs
