From the second you meet Wera, something shifts—your mood lifts, your smile shows up, and suddenly everything feels a little lighter.

At just 1½ years old, Wera is pure happiness in motion. Her tail never seems to stop wagging, her eyes light up at every new friend, and her energy? It’s the kind that fills a home with life.

Why She’s the Ultimate Joy-Bringer

🐾 1½ years old
🐶 Medium-sized mixed breed
💖 Affectionate, loyal, and full of love
🏃‍♀️ Fast, agile, and loves to run
🎾 Obsessed with fetch, tug-of-war, and playtime
🐕 Dog-friendly and loves to wrestle and romp

Wera is the kind of dog who brings energy when you need it—and cuddles when you want it. After a good play session, she’s more than happy to curl up in a blanket and be your snuggle buddy.

Her Playful Personality

Wera lives for fun.

She zooms across the yard with impressive speed, dives into games of tug, and will happily chase a ball again and again. Plush toys may not last long (she gets very excited 😄), but give her a durable chew or another game, and she’s all in.

She also thrives with other dogs and would absolutely love a playful companion in her new home.

What She’s Working On

✔️ Potty training (making great progress!)
✔️ Leash manners
✔️ Channeling her excitement in a structured way

The good news? She’s food-motivated and eager to please—so training her will be both effective and fun.

What She’s Looking For

✔️ An active home that enjoys play and engagement
✔️ A family who will continue her training with patience
✔️ A playful dog sibling (a big bonus!)
✔️ Kids 5+ who can match her energy
✔️ Someone who wants both a playmate and a cuddle buddy

Wera doesn’t do life halfway—she brings her whole heart into everything.

The Kind of Dog She Is

She’s the zoomies in your backyard.
The laughter during tug-of-war.
The warm cuddle after a long day.

She’s joy you can’t fake—and love you can’t miss.
