About Victoria

Meet Victoria and Sophia! These two lovely girls are 4 months old and have a remarkable story. They were rescued as tiny puppies from the streets of Puerto Rico. Initially, their rescuer planned to trap, spay, and release all four puppies due to the overwhelming number of strays on the island. However, when it came time to release Victoria and Sophia, she simply couldn’t do it. Instead, she took them in, nurtured them, and now they’re ready to find their forever homes. Victoria resembles a small Shepherd, currently weighing 12 pounds, and she is expected to stay under 40 pounds when fully grown. Sophia boasts a beautiful brindle coat and weighs about 16 pounds, likely reaching closer to 45 pounds. Both girls are spayed, vaccinated, and currently on NexGard and Interceptor Plus. They walk well on a leash and are learning basic commands like sit and stay. These girls were fortunate to receive a second chance. Now, they’re eager to find families who will help them create new, happy chapters in their lives! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
