About Vivi

Vivi spent more than a week dodging people and cars before someone finally helped get her somewhere safe. She came in looking rough—too thin, marked up with scars, and her teeth worn down to nubs, but that hasn’t defined who she is now. Vivi loves people and quickly found comfort in attention, cuddles, treats, and ball games. Kids and other dogs have been good company for her, and she adapts well, but like many dogs with a rough past, she prefers to eat away from other dogs—feed her solo and there’s no trouble. She doesn’t let anything slow her down and wins over everyone who meets her; staff and visitors all have a soft spot for Vivi. Potty habits are still a work in progress: she’s clean in her outdoor kennel and just needs a patient person to help her learn what’s expected in a home setting. She’d do great with a loving family ready to give her the kindness and consistency she deserves. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
