Victor - Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Horn Lake, Mississippi

Meet Victor: Victor is about an 18 month old (as of June 2026) long haired small dog mix (maybe Shetland sheepdog, papillon and shepherd of sorts, best guess) that weighs about 22 pounds. Victor was found in Memphis as a stray with his brother and sister (Charles and Vickie) and taken into a local shelter. The 3 siblings were kenneled together and were very vocal of their disinterest of losing their freedom. They continuously barked as people passed for attention and were ultimately relocated to a back corner kennel and ultimately were overlooked by any visitors. Our rescue heard of them and were able to spring all 3 to get them into a foster home where they could decompress together freely. Victor is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Victor was shy at first but quickly settled down and became a loving, attentive dog. Victor is more active than Charles, and likes to welcome you awake in the morning to start your day off smiling. Victor is currently house trained to a doggie door and may need patience while adjusting to a new process. We would love for Victor to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can run and play freely, but it is not a requirement. Victor is up to date on his shots now and neutered.
