Bio: Have you ever seen videos of mama kangaroos and their joeys? We love how the mamas just go about their business, with their joeys hanging out of their pouch. Did you know that sometimes mama kangaroos will welcome and carry around joeys that are not their own babies? We think that our incredible girl Vermillion may have a little FOMO when it comes to the relationship that joeys have with their mamas- she wants to be that close to her person! Volunteers ADORE her, with one sharing:
“Vermilion is a calm and sweet lover baby. Once in the play yard she was eager to play with her kennelmate, chasing her around and enticing her to play. In between play sessions, she would come over to me and snuggle in as close as she could get. At one point I was kneeled on the ground and she completely melted into me! She is so funny and believes that she actually only weighs 10 lbs. Another time I was sitting on the bench and she made herself as small as possible so she could curl all 60 lbs into my lap. This girl is perfection!! I think in another life she may have been a kangaroo, as she seemed to wish she was a joey, curled up in my pouch!”
Vermillion has shown off her cuddly side while in her foster home as well. Her foster said Oh my goodness, Vermilion is such a giant cuddle bug. I’m convinced that she is actually a small lap dog stuck in a 65 lb dog’s body because she will literally try to curl up and contort her entire body into my lap sometimes. She likes to be touching me in some way when we are just hanging out relaxing and she is napping. If she wants my attention, and I’m typing on my phone, she will paw at my hand to bring it down to pet her." While in foster we've also learned that Vermillion is house broken, crate trained, enjoys taking walks in the neighborhood and doing zoomies around the yard.
Vermilion has gone on a couple of day trips and gotten great reviews:
“Vermilion said “hi” to a lot of college students and was very nice. She was timid at first but really opened up. She loves being outside and active! She’s super cuddly and wants attention; she wants to be next to you constantly.”
“Vermilion is so sweet and will 100% be attached to you at the hip.”
Vermilion shares her kennel with another PACC pup and is a playgroup regular who has been playful and social when meeting other dogs. She would like to meet any other dogs before going home to make sure it'd be the right fit.
While you may not have known this, you can actually own a kangaroo in Arizona, but a permit is required and you must comply with the state's exotic animal laws. That sounds like a lot of work! If you’re looking for a simpler way to get your very own snuggly joey, Vermilion has volunteered to be your very own Velcro dog! Come meet her today!
