Description:
Vesta is a star, at least in her own mind. This sweet girl will likely walk into your home and act like it’s been hers all along. She loves to cuddle but will also lie at your feet happily. In her prior home she was an only dog living with an elderly woman. Vesta probably prefers to be the only dog and have your undivided attention. Like many shelties, she can be a diva. She also likes to have a routine, so Vesta will do best in a home where her life won’t be chaotic. Her current routine with her fosters includes two walks about 12 hours apart to burn off that sheltie energy. Vesta walks very well on the leash. She hasn’t had any accidents in the house and doesn’t need to be crated. After her second walk, she sleeps through the night.
Vesta will bark at other dogs on her walks, but she is already improving and learning the word “quiet.” Some days she loves to play tug and fetch, and other days she prefers not to play. This girl knows her own mind! Vesta has been a bit anxious meeting new people and might be slightly wary with men. She is still learning what it’s like to be around more than one older person who was her whole world.
Vesta will make a wonderful, loyal companion for someone who wants to lavish love and attention on her and be showered with love and cuddles in return.
