Vivian

Description

   Vivian is sugar and spice and everything nice. This adorable little girl has a fun personality, a loving heart, and just the right amount of sass to keep you smiling.   One of Vivian’s favorite things in the world is snuggling. When you pick her up, she’ll happily rest her head on your shoulder and cover you with sweet little kisses. She loves being close to her people and isn’t shy about reminding you when she thinks she’s due for more attention. If breakfast isn’t arriving quickly enough or you’re busy doing something other than admiring her, Vivian may offer a few opinionated barks to let you know exactly how she feels.   Vivian came from a situation where she spent much of her life in a pen, so many everyday experiences are still new to her. While she can be a little nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations, she has come such a long way already. She knows her foster home is a safe place, trusts her people, and continues to gain confidence every day. New friends may need to give her a minute to say hello, but before long her sweet personality shines through.   She loves playing with her littermate and the other dogs in her foster home and enjoys toys, chew bones, and romping around with her friends. She can be a bit vocal during playtime because she’s having so much fun. While she enjoys canine companionship and a confident dog friend could help continue building her confidence, she does not require another dog in her future home as long as her people are home much of the time.   Vivian has done well with both children and adults and enjoys all the love and attention they have to offer. She is a slightly busier puppy than some of her siblings but still has a wonderfully sweet and fairly calm overall personality. After a little playtime, she’s more than happy to settle in for couch snuggles—though she may still need a helping hand getting up there.   As a young puppy, Vivian is still learning about potty training, leash walking, and all the exciting things the world has to offer. She’s making great progress on leash skills, rides nicely in the car, and enjoys exploring new places with her people. A fenced yard would certainly be a bonus, but it is not required for her success.   Vivian loves food, playtime with friends, things to chew on, and most of all, being loved. She’s looking for a family that will continue helping her build confidence while embracing her affectionate, slightly sassy personality. In return, she’ll reward them with endless snuggles, sweet kisses, and enough charm to completely steal their hearts.   I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready! **Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.  T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.   Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
