Vivi Van Dogh

My story

Vivi Van Dogh has already endured more than any dog should. Found as a stray in the Bakersfield orchards-covered in ticks and missing part of her ear-this tiny 9-pound girl had clearly been through a lot. But despite everything, Vivi's spirit remains soft, sweet, and full of love. At only a year old, this Terrier mix is still in her puppy stage-active, playful, and happiest when she has an outlet for her energy. Vivi is submissive, gentle, and happiest when curled up in a warm lap or soaking up affection. She leans in for comfort and looks at you with eyes full of gratitude, as if she knows she's finally safe. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Now all she needs is a forever family who will cherish her for the brave, beautiful soul she is. ------ Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers. Be Ready: If your application is selected, our rescue counselor will be in touch for a phone interview. Adoptions can happen quickly so be prepared for our call, only apply for dogs that every family member in the home wants, and wait to apply until you return from your vacation. Please Keep in Mind: Due to high demand, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we may not reach out if we have already approved a family to adopt. The process can take several days. Thank you for your patience!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Vivi Van Dogh, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
