Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi my name is Victoria, but my foster family calls me Tori! I'm the sweetest snuggle bug! I love people and prefer to be close with my humans. I do well with other dogs, I have a foster brother who I love, but I haven't been around cats.
I was a new Mama who was very skinny when I arrived from Texas, but I'm an excellent eater and gaining weight. I'm currently around 40 pounds and 2 years old!
I'm am a herding dog, so I do try to herd my foster brother, and my ears stick straight up when I see a squirrel, but I'm very gentle to other dogs.
I'm an excellent walking companion, and a perfect angel on a leash. I love walks or just being in my yard.
I'm a pretty quiet girl who loves lounging on the couch, chewing on bones or going on car rides. Toys were new to me, but I have discovered I love to play.
I'm doing pretty well with my potty training as long as I'm on a schedule. I love treats, so that always helps me remember to go outside!
At first I hated my crate, but now when my foster parents show me my kong, and say crate I go right in and sleep soundly through the night. I'm in my crate when they are at work, and I only whine for a few minutes after they leave.
I love kids, and getting all the love. I currently live with two four year olds and a nine year old, and they are always loving on me. It's never quiet at my foster home, so the loud doesn't bother me.
I'm looking for my forever family, maybe that's you!
Love, Victoria
