Vi is a 3-year-old female Shepherd mix who strikes a great balance between playfulness and loyalty. She thrives on being close to her people, whether that means joining you for strolls around Austin, a lively session at the dog park, or cozying up on the sofa for a movie marathon. Vi isn’t shy about showing affection; she’ll nuzzle your legs for attention and is known for her endearing post-walk cuddle plops. Snack time turns into a game, as she demonstrates her impressive popcorn-catching abilities. Beyond her loving nature, Vi comes with solid training. She is fully house trained, crate-trained, and at ease spending up to 8 hours comfortably crated if needed. Vi knows her basic commands—Sit, Lay Down, Heel, Stay, Drop It, and Leave It—and she walks calmly by your side on leash. While she’s always interested in playing with other dogs she meets, she is polite on the leash and usually pays little mind to strangers. In her foster home, she gets along with both dogs and cats, making her a flexible addition to many households. Vi will thrive with someone who enjoys keeping active and values consistent training, but also wants a devoted friend to relax with at the end of the day. Click apply to start the adoption process.
