My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Viper is a 1.5-year-old mixed breed with a big heart and a zest for life! This playful, energetic boy is house trained and absolutely loves people. He’s lived with kids as young as 5 and did great, but his size and tendency to get a little jumpy mean he might accidentally knock the little ones over.

Viper enjoys the company of other dogs and is always ready to play, but he can be a bit pushy and overenthusiastic. A tolerant doggy friend who doesn’t mind his exuberant play style would be ideal for him.

Though he’s naturally sweet and full of charm, Viper would really benefit from some training to brush up on his manners. With the right guidance, he’ll channel his energy into being the best companion ever.

If you’re looking for an active, loving dog to join your family, Viper might just be your guy!

If you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways:

Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00! For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt.

**the below two methods are slower than visiting us**
