Vanessa

Vanessa is an adoptable female German Shepherd looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. She is still very young and medium in size. She is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Vanessa may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.
