Viva comes from a group of puppies who have known little of the world so far. Everything is new—noisy, sometimes overwhelming—which makes her nervous right now. Some of her siblings are slowly starting to approach people; Viva may need a bit more time and a gentle approach. The staff is helping her learn that people can be safe and patient, but progress happens at each puppy’s own pace. Adopters should be prepared for shyness and give her plenty of consistency and patience as she builds trust. The breed mix is largely a mystery, but Viva should grow into a medium-sized dog—about 25–35 lbs based on her family. She’s young, sensitive, and has a lot of potential once she feels secure. Viva gets along with dogs and cats, which will help her as she comes out of her shell. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
