My story

At just two months old, Viggo was found alone on the side of a road in Mexico, trying to survive by eating a dead owl. Frightened, shy, and far too young to be fending for himself, he had no idea that his life was about to change forever. Once he was rescued and shown kindness, Viggo slowly began to let his guard down. Day by day, the scared little puppy transformed into the happy, vibrant boy he was always meant to be. His playful personality blossomed, and now it's impossible not to smile when he's around. Viggo is everything you could want in a puppy-full of energy, endlessly curious, and just the right amount of cheeky. He loves playing with other dogs and could happily spend the entire day running, wrestling, and making new friends. People are high on his list of favorite things too, and he's always excited to be part of whatever is happening. Like any young pup, Viggo has a mischievous streak. He's still learning about the world, so expect puppy antics, silly moments, and plenty of laughs along the way. Thankfully, treats are an excellent motivator, and with a little patience and positive reinforcement, he's eager to learn. Viggo has already overcome more than any puppy ever should. From surviving alone on the roadside to discovering the joy of love, play, and friendship, he's proven just how resilient he is. Now, all that's left is finding the family who will help him write the happiest chapter of his story. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who will fill your home with laughter, adventures, and unconditional love, Viggo is waiting to meet you. Good with women: Yes Good with men: Yes Good with Children: Yes Good with Other Dogs: Yes, he has interacted with all types and sizes Behavior with Cats: Yes Housetrained: In progress Crate trained: In progress Energy Level: Medium/high Can be handled/touched: Yes Flight risk: No, but extra caution should always be taken in the beginning Food aggression: No, but it's recommended to feed all dogs separately.
