About Fanta
Hello! My name is Fanta! I'm a mixed breed pup that shows a lot of qualities of a shar pei. I have the sweetest personality, ready to give you all my love and loyalty. All that I ever want to do is sit in your lap and cuddle with you. I love going on walks, I love playing with my toys, I love chewing on bones, but mostly I just love people and want so badly to be with you always. At 35 lbs., I'm the perfect size don't you think?
I’m looking for my forever family! Is that with you? If so please hit the apply button and let’s get our family started.
Personality
Fanta is a strong and beautiful girl. Her wrinkly face is kind and her excitement is as big as her waggly tail. She is a cuddly, sweet girl that immediately rolls over for belly rubs. She's an affectionate velcro dog that will follow her people around all day asking for affection. She loves kisses and scratches and giving kisses. She loves meeting everyone!
Skills and Training
She has done well in the crate and seems to be 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 has recently learned "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.
