About Vicky

Vicky is just over a year old and has a ton of spunk. She’s the kind of dog who wants to be in the middle of the action, always looking for her next adventure. If you’re hoping for a laid-back companion, Vicky probably isn’t the match—she’s happiest when she’s doing something. She isn’t sure how to handle other dogs and didn’t have much socialization before, so she’s still figuring that piece out. With people, though, Vicky is all in. She sits on command and is extremely food motivated—she’ll work hard for a treat and shows a real eagerness to learn. Weighing in around 65-70 pounds and already spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped, Vicky is ready for a home that can keep up with her energy and offer consistent guidance. She’s in Richmond, MO and waiting for someone who wants a smart, curious, high-drive dog in their life. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
