Oh, Victoria. Or as she’s frequently called: Vicky-Vic-Vicky girl. One name can’t cover her entire personality. She’ll answer to anything — eventually — but only after you seal the deal with a handshake. Seriously, this medium-sized oddball expects a handshake before major events: leaving her crate, coming inside, or picking up a treat in a drive-thru. If you earn her trust, you’ll get the rare two-paw bear hug — Victoria’s official invitation into her quirky circle. She’s sweet, playful, and cuddly, but her style is a mix of calm lapdog and wild goofball. She’s quiet and gentle most days, but pull out her favorite game (“AHHH AHH AHHH!!!”) and all bets are off. She’ll sprint, spin, crash into legs, and keep coming back for more. Her fetch game is strictly her rules: you throw, she chases, then you chase her to get it back. She finds this hilarious. Victoria prefers to keep her close humans exclusive. She isn’t a fan of sharing her space, her snacks, or her affection with other dogs or cats. She can be shy with new folks, but patience, kindness, and finesse with a handshake will win her over. Once you’re in, you’ve got a fiercely loyal, affectionate, and delightfully weird companion for life. If you’re looking for a uniquely lovable, low-key best friend who believes every proper greeting starts with a handshake, Victoria is waiting in Phenix City, AL to meet you.
