VELMA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Velma Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua mix
Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of July 2026 SEX: Female
Approximate Weight: 11.1 lbs
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
Currently Living at: Puerto Rico shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!
Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think this pup would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure they can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.Velma is Looking For: Her forever home! Velma is a sato - a dog from Puerto Rico. She is in her prime as an adult dog and hasn't seen enough of the world - she's eager to get her own humans for sniffy walks and romps in parks and all the adventures her family can dream up. Making pup pals along the way would be great, as would going to dog school so she can show how super smart she is.
Most of all, though, she wants to know where she belongs, to be safe and loved all her days. In exchange she promises so much love and loyalty. What do you say? Can you see her by your side?What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has spent time in foster care,
