Vivian is only 2 years old, yet most of her young life has been spent in the shelter. But she's not defined by her past—it's how she's come alive that matters. Vivian entered shy and uncertain, a stray overwhelmed by new faces and places; now, she wags her tail at newcomers and seeks out playtime with both dogs and people who have earned her trust. She thrives around other playful dogs and checks in often with her people, looking for encouragement and affection. Vivian's grown to love long hikes and swims, always up for adventure as long as she has a reassuring human nearby. She's house trained, finds motivation in treats, and walks nicely on a leash once her happy energy settles. Vivian creates deep bonds and will do best in a home where she can continue building her confidence, ideally with a friendly dog buddy or dedicated adopter.
