Vanilla

Vanilla is a spayed female Boxer mix weighing around 45lbs.   The shelter estimated her birthday to be November 21, 2022 Vanilla (and her brother Sugar) found herself in the shelter on the list to be euthanized, due to lack of space. We couldn’t let that happen, so our foster picked them up and has been taking care of them since then. Vanilla is house trained and crate trained and has not been destructive inside or outside of the home.   If she gets bored with nothing to do, she sometimes will try to dig in the backyard.   She barks only if he needs or wants something. Vanilla sleeps quietly in her crate at night. She has no issues with car rides and loves to accompany her humans wherever they go. Vanilla likes other male dogs but prefers to be the only female pup in the house.   Vanilla would do best in a home without cats since she likes to chase them. We don’t believe that she intends to hurt them but cats are usually not fond of being chased. Vanilla is an active girl who needs a fenced yard. She has been working with a trainer on her basic doggie commands like sit, come, stay, heel for leash walking, off for not jumping on her humans, and nice or gentle for taking treats.   She would be a great partner for long walk or possibly hiking if the weather was not too hot, however she is not yet off leash trained.   Her ideal family could be a couple or family with older children or single person as long as she gets plenty of exercise.  She could be an only dog or have a male buddy.   Vanilla likes to run and play chase in the yard.   She is up to date on all shots including rabies and is heartworm negative and on monthly prevention against fleas/ticks/ heartworms. She is also microchipped. Her shelter paperwork labels her as a Pittie but her behavior and that adorable underbite (which really shows when she’s happy and “smiling” at you) make us believe that she is more likely a Boxer mix. She acts and looks more like a Boxer. Vanilla is a sweet, loving and active girl who likes her butt scratched and lives for belly rubs!   Her best forever home would include her in their daily adventures so Vanilla does not get bored!   Vanilla is currently being fostered in Texas but available to transport to approved adopter in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada. Adoption fee includes vaccinations, Spay/Neuter, microchip, deworming, heartworm test, transport and vet/documentation requirements in preparation for transport.
