04/25/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: She’s an itty bitty girl in a rich golden coat, happy to make new friends for a walk to go potty. Victorina has lovely leash manners, so a walk with her is a pleasure and we enjoy a scintillating conversation, Victorina wagging her tail at me every time I spoke. Such a good listener!! In the park Victorina felt it her mission to chase every squirrel she saw, and wag her tail gently at every passing dog. Posing for photos and looking stunning, she sits without me asking and gently takes her treats. She’s the perfect hanging out partner, and as we cuddle together on a bench, Victorina reaches up to give me some kisses. When a man and his young daughter stopped to talk to us, Miss Victorina wagged her tail gently at the child. Low key and calm, she’s easy peasy and a joy to spend time with. Joining us when her owner ran into some difficulties, she’s hoping to find a new person to love and enjoy her happily ever after. If you’re looking for a companion who will hang on your every word, never disagree with your opinion, and show you how much she loves you every day, please come meet our sweet little girl today.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 4/23/17 During her initial medical exam, Victorina was social and allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Victorina so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.
