Vanessa Was Surrendered When She Was Only A Puppy
It was August 2012 when this lovely girl was surrendered to Villalobos Rescue Center, in New Orleans, Louisiana, by her family.
She was just a little puppy back then, and there was no reason for her to experience abandonment whatsoever – but it happened! Her parents simply decided not to have her anymore, so they drove her one day to the facility and left her there.
“She was unwanted and minutes away from dying in the back of a sweltering hot box in a truck,” VRC wrote in their Facebook post.
Since then, many adopters have come and gone, but Vanessa never got a second chance! “Vanessa is one of those that slipped through the cracks,” the VRC team says.
Months passed… and then years, and still – nothing happened! Once a beautiful, perky doggo girl, Vanessa’s now an 11-year-old senior.
But, even today, she has never lost her spark nor have her pawdorable eyes ever stopped shining like they used to when she was a puppy!

“Perfect In The House, Crate Trained, Sociable”
Despite the fact that she has been in a shelter her whole life, Vanessa has been described as the pawfect girl! She currently lives outside the shelter in one of the satellite locations with other senior dogs – and she loves it! Other than that, she’s known for her calm nature and for being well-trained.
“She is perfectly crate trained… she is quiet. She is just that amazing,” the VRC team wrote in Vanessa’s profile.
Vanessa loves spending time with people! Every now and then, a group of volunteers come to the shelter to spend some time with the dogs, and Vanessa really seems to enjoy it!
Aside from her regular caretakers, she’s just a sweetheart to everyone! And, boy does she love doggo company!
Sure, she’s a bit old for endless games and frolicking in dog parks, but she still loves spending time with a group of fellow doggos. She has always been a good girl! Between outside adventures and a cozy, inside afternoon – she would always choose the latter!

Experiencing The “Furever Home” Concept After 11 Years
Just when it seemed that this pawdorable Pittie girl would spend the rest of her life in a shelter, an owner appeared! After re-posting about Vanessa this July on their official Facebook page, the VRC team revealed that this wonderful girl has been adopted by one of their former adopters.
After all this time, a giant-hearted man with a lot of experience in this area finally showed up – and Vanessa couldn’t be happier!
She finally found what she has been looking for since that hot, August day 11 years ago – a warm home and a loving family who will know how to appreciate her for who she is.
And, she’s just the most pawfect girl!
