My name is
Vivian!

Vivian needs someone who is willing to put the time and energy into properly training her. We adopted her a year ago from a breeder of Shih Tzus. She was a year old and had not been purchased as a puppy. Despite her age, Viv had never been named or seemingly given any attention. She was timid and fully untrained.

Over the past year, Vivian has relaxed with my wife and me. She loves to snuggle up against us and be petted. She does not relax with any other people. Her issue has worsened since we had a baby 3 months ago. She loves the baby, but barks and nips at the ankles of anyone else who comes in the house or room, even our 12 & and 15-year-old sons. Additionally, we have been unable to completely house-train Vivian. She continues to pee and poop in the house, even minutes after going outside.

Viv does love other dogs. She spends hours playing and wrestling with our other dog, a sheepadoodle mix.

Viv is not spayed. We are waiving adoption fee as new owners must get her spayed.
