This beautiful dog's name is Viva - it means "life," symbolizing her new life, which begins today.  Who would do a thing like this?  Viva was picked up at a city shelter, nothing but skin and bones.  She looked so sad when I met her, I wanted to cry... then the moment shown the slightest kindness, her tail started to wag.  It's a testament to her endurance; this sweet girl does not deserve to have been starved.

    Viva is already spayed and up to date on shots.  She walked well for me on a leash, and eagerly ate every piece of food that was put in front of her.  We will be working on getting her up to weight, and she'll probably wind up somewhere between 70 and 80 lbs. when she regains her normal figure.  She behaved beautifully in the bath today, and after two or three more baths, should be clean again.  Her beautiful white feet and tail were stained from living in filth, but won't be for long! 

    Viva thrives on attention - I don't think she's had much in her short life, but she listens well and by the end of the day she'd learned to sit.  We don't have an actual age on her, but she appears to be around 2 or 3 years old.  Because she came in as a stray, we cannot place her with young children.  We'll update her bio as we begin to learn more about her, and whether she appears to have been socialized or has lived as an only dog.  If you're looking for a wonderful, loving companion, please consider our pretty girl - she has lots of love to give and would adore a home to share it.
