About Vivy

Vivy is making her way to New Jersey and will be available for adoption from November 14-15 at the Tractor Supply in Ringoes. This young Chihuahua mix was rescued from a tough situation last January, along with some puppies. While she’s still overcoming her timid nature, Vivy allows gentle handling and loves to sit in a lap. With time and patience, we believe she can become more comfortable in her new environment. A quieter home, ideally with another friendly dog to help her acclimate, would be best for her. Her journey has included spaying, vaccinations, and microchipping, plus she's on preventatives for fleas and ticks. Vivy will need additional house and leash training. She's ready for someone special, someone who understands shy dogs and is ready to help her blossom. Click apply to start the adoption process.
