Hi, I’m
VIVIENNE!
I’m a 1-year old heeler who is in search of someone who likes to adventure, but also likes a good snuggle session. I love to play with toys and I REALLY enjoy water! I can be wary meeting new people and pups, so a meet and greet with any resident dogs is required.
More about VIVIENNE
Vivienne is a friendly flirty girl who loves dog friends. She is learning about the world and sometimes gets nervous when she encounters new things. She’s looking for a companion who will take the time with her to show her all the things the world has to offer. Her confidence has grown since she came to POOCH and she no longer feels shy about walking in and out of doors. She found her love for sprinklers and splashing in pools at POOCH. Vivienne LOVES the water. She can lounge in the hot sun for hours and then wear herself out throwing toys in the air and zooming in the yard. She is very interested in other dogs and sometimes uses her big girl voice to let passing dogs know they forgot to come say “hello” to her. The youth have been teaching her some manners with passing dogs and she’s made lots of progress. This training will need to continue as needs guidance from her person to continue to teach her what is expected when she has these big feelings. She has made lots of doggy friends during her stay at POOCH. She needs a slower introduction as she is still learning her doggy manners. Vivienne is a herding breed and has the natural tendencies to chase things that move fast. She has not been cat or small animal tested. It’s not recommended to place her in a home with cats due to what we know about herding breeds.
