My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Velcro was rescued with 15 puppies from a California shelter all set to be euthanized the day we rescued them.

Up-to-date on shots: Rabies, licensed, DHPP-BORD, Dewormed, Microchipped. Spay/Neuter appointments scheduled for 5/14.

She is a sweetheart who warms up to you very quickly. She loves to play with her siblings and come up to you for pets and love. She is one of the first to greet me when I hang out with all the pups, so excited for love! She will need an adopter that is patient and willing to get her more socialized in the world because she is used to being in a kennel for most of her life. She is a great girl who will make anyone happy, she needs a loving home with someone who is ready to train a puppy and ready to receive lots of love!

She would be fine in a multi-dog household, as long as proper introductions are given, which will be done during the adoption process. We recommend all of our dogs be trained, by the adopter and/or professionally, especially as puppies. Training makes everyone's life easier and more enjoyable, giving you a companion that is well behaved, safe, and mentally enriched. All adopters will receive a 50% discount at The Good Dog Yorktown for a 6-week training session.

Our favorite trainer for online advice is Tom Davis, his youtube is here: https://www.youtube.com/@tomdavisofficial

Backstory: We saw a post on Facebook from Angels for Animals spreading awareness that these 16 dogs were in an urgent situation, scheduled for euthanasia. They were dumped from a breeder at OC Animal Shelter with two testing positive for parvo. Since they all came in together, they were considered parvo exposed, meaning they did not have it, were not showing any signs of it, just merely exposed. We couldn't let them all die for a treatable disease, so with the help of Animal Assistance League of Orange County, The Fix Project, 4 Paws Transport Inc., SoCal Happy Tails Transport, and a great volunteer communicator, we were able to get them out, and transport them here to Rox & Ro Animal Rescue in Virginia where we will find their forever homes!
