About Victoria

Victoria spent her first years chained outside, having litter after litter while longing for proper attention. She's around 2, with a calm and gentle soul. When her last pups were found dangerously crossing a road, she still wasn't surrendered—but eventually, rescue stepped in, and this sweet husky-shepherd mix finally caught a break. Now decompressed and free, Victoria relaxes into her new life. She gets along with other dogs, cats, and children. You’ll often catch her napping or happily jogging along on leash, never far from her treasured ball. She takes treats with care and is spayed and vaccinated. At 41 pounds, Victoria is an easy size to handle, and her medium coat is classic for the breed. She does have mild vision impairment from a past eye injury, but the vet has no other concerns. Heartworm positive, she’ll need ongoing care, but Victoria’s ready to put hardship behind her and focus on being someone’s beloved companion. She’ll win you over before you know it.
