Hello there, my name is Vader! Yesssss, like Darth Vader! I am four years old, and my favorite food is bananas and peanut butter. Some of my favorite activities are playing with my stuffed animals (preferable dragons!), watching Star Wars films with my mom and dad, and watching out for squirrels! I love being surrounded by people and have been working in therapeutic facilities since I was two years old! I can’t wait to meet you and possibly try to sit on you (because I am obviously a lap dog).
Rules For Vader:
Please ask to touch/pet
Allow Vader to come to you, as opposed to running after him.

Staff/handler must always be present when interacting with Vader.
No taking Vader on walks, unless you are accompanied by a staff/handler.
