About Viggo

Viggo is an energetic, outgoing little Coton de Tulear who just turned three this January—a classic Capricorn, known for being loyal and lively. He landed with the rescue after his previous owners could no longer care for him, but it’s clear he was cherished and well looked after. With a friendly attitude and easygoing nature, Viggo gets along well with both dogs and cats and has been well socialized in busy, active environments. He’s always up for some outdoor playtime and won’t pass up a good roll in the dirt. Viggo tends to be a quiet companion but will voice his opinion if there’s commotion around, like the mail arriving or neighbors bustling about. A home with regular activity and another dog would suit him best, since he’s never known life as a solo pet. He needs a family ready to keep up with his playful spirit and maintain his long, fluffy coat with regular grooming. Viggo is neutered, microchipped, house trained, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
