Veronica was found abandoned in an area in Miami FL called the Redlands. Sadly it is a known spot for dogs where 1000s of dogs are dumped annually. Veronica was trapped and saved by some wonderful local rescuers. She did require surgury on her foot and has made her recovery challenging since she doesn't like her cone.
Veronica is a sweet, spayed female in Central Florida and needs a forever home. This super sweet girl loves cuddles and has been wonderful with children 6+ years old and enjoys when they read to her. She is timid indoors and around new people. But when she warms up to people, she is playful and amazing.
Her personality blossoms when she's outdoors. She runs fast, hard and does maligator dives and rolls in the grass. She forgets all about being timid and enjoys toys and playing with humans outside. Unfortunately loud noises will spook her and she will try to run away, so a fenced yard wish leash would be best until she builds more confidence.
Veronica has a serious sniffer. She loves snuffle mats and sniffing in the grass. She would probably excel at nose work. She is brilliant and hasn't found a mind game toy that she couldn't master within a short time.
Veronica has shown some prey drive and would probably be best in a home with no cats. She has lived with puppies with no issues. Veronica has some fear of larger male dogs, however has been able to coexist with supervision with another female malinois. She would do best with proper and slow introductions to other dogs.
We have been focused working on Veronica's confidence building and she has now started obedience training. She is crated at night and is housebroken. She does okay on a leash. She loves walks, so she is training for better leash manners. Veronica is very smart and focused, and will need someone to train her in a positive way. She does well on car rides and has worked through her hesitancy getting in and out of the truck.
She loves people but is shy at first. She really just wants to be loved. With her smaller size, low prey drive and medium energy, she would be a great family dog.
