About Vivian

Meet Vivian, the charming little pup with a big personality! Just like her namesake from Pretty Woman, Vivian found herself lost in a city without a clue about how she got there. Unlike the film, there was no one looking for her when she was abandoned at a dog park in Houston. Thankfully, someone recognized her worth and brought her to safety. At around 4 to 5 years old and weighing only 9 pounds, she’s the perfect purse-sized companion. Vivian is incredibly sweet and friendly, and she has an abundance of affection to share. If you’re after a tiny dog to be your loyal shadow or cuddle buddy, she’s eager to put her best paw forward. This little diva does well with both cats and dogs. She loves playtime and having canine friends nearby. However, there’s one rule Vivian has learned about being a lap dog: the lap is hers! Occasionally, she may give a little nip to other pups if they encroach on her space when she's cozy on someone’s lap. This small quirk, while playful, is a reminder that she appreciates all the attention. Vivian has been through quite a bit, including recovering from a hernia and getting spayed and vaccinated. We want her future family to understand that she’s not just an affectionate cuddlebug; she’s also the queen of lap-sitting. She’s ready for a forever home where she can truly shine and be spoiled. Vivian is in Richmond, TX, and is ready to find her happily-ever-after. Could you be the one to give her the love she deserves?
