Meet Vanilla , a 5-year-old cuddlebug with smiles for miles. Vanilla is a homebody. He doesn’t need to be entertained or go here and there. He enjoys simple pleasures like car rides, and he’d be thrilled just hanging out on the couch with you. Short walks are all that he needs and mostly he just wants love and attention. Once he gets to know you, he will be rolling over for belly rubs and putting on the charm. There’s nothing plain vanilla about this boy. He has lots of love to give.

Vanilla came to the shelter in heartbreaking condition: underweight, covered in sores, missing fur, battling parasites and heartworms, and emotionally broken. He had entered the shelter before, each time in worsening condition, and the last time, he was not reclaimed. Without the dedication of a volunteer advocate and a foster wanting to help him heal, Vanilla would not be here today.

Vanilla is doing well in foster care. He has completed heartworm treatment, gained healthy weight, and his soft white coat is growing back. Most importantly, he is learning to trust and feel safe again. There’s a sparkle in his eyes since he’s left the shelter.

Vanilla is a bit shy when meeting new people. Can you blame him? He’s been let down so many times. He’s fine with other dogs with slow introductions, not into playing and with more of a live and let live attitude. He walks well on leash and is crate and potty trained.

After everything he has endured, Vanilla just wants to be loved, feel safe, and to finally have a home to call his own. Foster care is great but no substitute for a committed, loving family. We have been rooting for this sweet boy for a while. He deserves only the best and we know his happy ending is out there. Are you his happy ending?
