Vada is a Boxer/Pit X of 3 years old, and came to us through local Bylaw. Spayed now and gaining weight, she is people and dog-friendly (dogs her own size and bigger!), a hard-no to cats, respectful around children and although strong on leash, she does respond to commands and is learning to be aware of who is walking who! She's lovely in the vehicle, rarely barks unless there is something going on, loves her soft bed, makes great eye contact.
