Meet Vasanta – Your Future Adventure Buddy Wrapped in Puppy Love!

Looking for a best friend who’s ready to take on the world with you? Vasanta might just be the perfect match! This 8-pound sweetheart was born on February 18, 2025, and is a delightful German Shepherd/Australian Shepherd mix. With her soft black, white, and brown coat and a heart full of affection, Vasanta is more than just adorable—she’s an incredible companion in the making.

Vasanta is very smart and already showing signs of being an eager learner. She’s affectionate and adventurous, always curious about her surroundings and ready to explore. Her favorite thing? Giving “hugs” with her little paws—yes, she’s as cute as she sounds!

She’s friendly with new people, gets along great with other dogs, and would thrive in a home that gives her both structure and love. While she hasn’t been tested with cats or other animals, her balanced personality makes her a great candidate for slow, thoughtful introductions.

She’s still working on house training and obedience, but with her smarts and eagerness to please, she’ll be a training star in no time. A fenced yard is a must so this adventurous pup can safely romp and roam to her heart’s content.

Whether it’s a walk in the park, learning new tricks, or curling up for snuggles after a day of exploring, Vasanta is ready to make every moment sweeter. She’s got the brains, the love, and the paw-hugs—now all she needs is a family to call her own.
