Meet VIDA

Hi there! I'm Vida, a sweet senior gal with a heart full of love and a spirit that's still young at heart. Despite my age, I've got plenty of pep and playfulness left in me, and I'm looking for a family who will appreciate my zest for life. I may have had a rough start, but I'm ready to shower my new forever family with cuddles and companionship. I've been described as a social butterfly who gets along well with other dogs, which means I could be a great addition to a home with furry friends. My gentle nature and fun-loving personality mean I'm always up for some gentle playtime or a cozy cuddle session. I'm hoping to find a patient and loving home where I can spend my golden years feeling cherished and adored. Are you ready to give this sweet girl a chance to love and be loved? I'm full grown at ~45 lbs. How did I get here? Transferred from Wake County Animal Center.**I am currently living in a foster home - please fill out a survey and select a phone appointment to complete the adoption process. Once that process is complete, your adoption specialist will schedule a time for you to meet me in person! I have a sophisticated medical history and have been diagnosed with heartworm disease- please speak with an adoption specialist for details.*~My adoption fee is waived thanks to a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization.~
