Since I'm a long stay pup, my adoption fee has been reduced! Visit me today to find out my favorite treats and how you can take me home!
Velvet will take up all of the space on the bed but you will forgive her because she is nothing more than a warm, snoring, loving beauty of a brindle. She loves going on walks so she can smell things and is a very good long-distance traveler. She will be your shadow and companion, even waiting patiently outside of the bathroom door whenever you disappear inside. I am so happy to see her living with less anxiety, enjoying up to 8 hours alone at home with her belly to the sky. 15 out of 10. Come meet her!

In her notes, Velvet's veterinarian noted how polite she is, and SHE IS. In addition to being the sweetest and most loving pup, and she knows how to be patient with people who want to give her attention and with me when I'm preparing her food. The only thing she is not patient about it is when she sees there's a chance that we might be heading toward the park. Then the excited puppy energy takes over.
Velvet loves tennis balls, soccer balls, squeaky toys (she is a very efficient squeaker-remover), fetch, and tug of war. Her tail is powerful and she wags it with gusto when she is happy.
Velvet loves to run but she is also happy as a work-from-companion, having attended many zoom meetings with me and listened in on countless work phone calls. She lounges about during the day for a surprising number of hours. She cuddles me at night (yes, of course, she sleeps in my bed and gets her hair everywhere), and sometimes snores (it's adorable), and has little dreams where she is apparently paddling her paws in a wide ocean or something like that.
Velvet is not a picky eater and takes her meds in half-vienna-sausages with no problems at all. I've only been in two ubers with her and no city buses, but she is making great strides with the subway where she is peaceful and patient and never tires of the public attention her brindle coat guarantees.
She knows perhaps 20 commands and we're working on "privacy" (so a human can use the bathroom in peace) and "slow" when going down stairs.
I love her a lot. She has quickly become my best friend. I am sure you will love her, too.
