About Vedder (at PetSuites)
Dogs – Does very well with dogs his size
Cats – Prefers a feline free home
Kids – Adult-only home (18 yrs and up)
Vedder is the kind of dog who makes you feel like the most important person in the world. He's goofy, sweet, and lights up when he sees the people he loves! One of his previous owners said the best part of every day was coming home to Vedder's joyful welcome-and we get it. That tail wag. That face. He makes you feel like a rockstar.
He's also a champion belly rub recipient, a nosy little sidekick, and a total pro at finding the coziest spot in the house. Vedder is housebroken, crate trained, and does well with structure and routine. His crate is a safe haven for him once he settles in-and treats help speed that up!
Vedder loves walks and is working hard on his leash skills. He's eager to explore and sometimes gets a little too excited, but he's already made great progress. He'll thrive with someone who enjoys training and is ready to keep cheering him on!
He's done well with dogs his size and would love to meet any potential canine friends here at the shelter. He's not a fan of cats and would prefer a home without them.
Vedder is still learning to feel confident in new situations, so he's looking for a calm home with patient adults who understand that building trust takes time-and that the payoff is so worth it. Once he knows you're his person, you'll have a loyal, loving buddy for life.
If you're someone who enjoys the journey as much as the destination and loves a good underdog story, Vedder just might be your perfect match. Come meet him and see why so many of us are rooting for this guy!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
