About Fanta
Hello! My name is Fanta! I'm a mixed breed pup that shows qualities of all sorts of funny pups. I am about 35 lbs of love.
- I would like to spend 100% of my time in your lap. I am the biggest velcro dog and will find any excuse to drape myself over you.
- I love playing tug and keepaway; those are my favorites! I also love sitting on your lap and chewing on my bone.
- I love going on walks. When I see other dogs and people, I desperately want to say hi but sometimes get a little bit scared. I have come a long way and can't wait to keep getting more confident with you!
- I am learning what level of acceptable play biting is. I get especially excited in the mornings because I cannot wait to play with you, so patience may be needed with me.
- I love having a yard and being able to run around in it, smell everything, chase squirrels, and listen to what is going on around me. I do live in a rowhome without a yard and do great in there as well.
- I have such a fun personality. I have my foster parents always laughing. My tail never stops wagging and I just am loving life!

Skills and Training
She has done well in the crate and is house trained. She is very food motivated as you can see from this video of snacks on the sidewalk. She also has the perfect amount of energy to be a walking buddy or to do something like agility. She knows "sit" and is a very smart dog that will do great with some basic training and patience!
Ideal Home
Based on interactions with other dogs while with OPH, it seems like she would be best as the only dog or in a home where she can be slowly introduced to other dogs with ample space to feel comfortable. She does play with other dogs outdoors, but she tends to get a little protective of her humans and can be scared of other dogs.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
