Vanelope - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Merriam, Kansas

Hi, I’m Vanelope and ready to find a place to call home! I was adopted as a puppy at a different shelter, but since then, I’ve found myself moving between different shelters. I’ve had a lot of changes in my short life, and I’m hoping my next stop will finally be my forever home.

I love to play with other dogs here at the shelter. I’m also eager to learn new things and would love a family who will continue training with me and give me the routine and stability I’ve been missing.

I may be a big girl, but that just means there’s 84 pounds of me to love.

I’ve had enough stops along the way. I’m ready for the next one to be home.

Love,
Vanelope

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
