Cute as a button and full of puppy energy at four years old, Wanda is a doll! She started life on the streets and has taken some tough knocks, but she is just about the happiest companion you can imagine. Wanda's a big fan of snuggling, other dogs, and taking naps while her human is close by. If you step out for a while, she'll eagerly await your reunion and then she'll greet you with a lively tail wagging before rolling onto her back for another of your patented belly rubs.

Wanda was found as a stray and arrived at a local animal shelter in rough shape: matted, covered in waste, recovering from being hit by a car. An injured eye had to go and her legs never fully recovered, but her spirits remain high and abundant; when excited, she sometimes hops around like a bunny! Wanda wears doggie diapers and putting them on her is a cinch.

She would love to move into a forever home that can continue to give Wanda the TLC she deserves as she continues to heal from her surgery. Darling, sweet, and a true blue cuddler, Wanda is waiting to express to you her love and gratitude. The only ones who don't see Wanda's sweet side are cats! She does chase and want to catch kitties so is looking for a home without feline residents.

Wanda came to us from Santa Cruz County Animal Services after being found as a stray.
