About Vicki

Vicki is a lovely dog who found herself running loose and was never claimed. At about 25 pounds, she’s a great medium size, but with her fluffy coat, some vacuuming might be needed due to shedding. Around two years old, she’s a bit shy in the hustle and bustle of the shelter but opens up in quieter environments, revealing her sweet and affectionate personality. Vicki knows how to sit and is highly motivated by treats, which will make training easier. Given her gentle nature, she would thrive in a calmer home where she can feel secure and loved. Vicki is heartworm positive, but rest assured, The ARK will cover the costs for her treatment. Ready to bring this sweetie home? Click apply to start the adoption process.
