Meet Victoria!
Victoria is an adorable young lady with the spirit of a puppy and the manners of a dog who's quickly learning the ropes. She brings a fun mix of playful energy and sweet companionship in a petite package.
Adorable, sweet young girl
Dog-friendly and playful with other dogs, especially similar-sized companions
Has done well in a multi-dog foster home with dogs of various sizes and ages
Settles in quickly and shows great house manners after a short adjustment period
Still has some puppy-like chewing tendencies, so appropriate chew toys are a must
Likely kid-friendly and has shown zero signs of aggression
Unknown with cats, though introductions should be done thoughtfully
A bit of a "neighborhood reporter" - likes to keep you updated on outside activity, so may be too vocal for apartment living
Victoria is a sweet, spunky little companion who will thrive in a home ready to embrace her playful side while continuing to guide her as she matures.
