About Vika

Signed up for a 10k but snuck into the 5k so that the Instagram photos wouldn't be so sweaty. Only eats Kale when a camera is around. Has a folder of dating apps on her iPhone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intake Date: 26 March 2020 ----- Adopted 11 Apr 2020 -----Returned to Rescue 21 Oct 2020 -------Adopted 12 Dec 2020-----Returned to Rescue 27 Dec 2020---- Age: 1 yr ----- Breed: Her DNA test came back as 12.5% border collie / 12.5% australian shepherd / 12.5% German Shepherd / 12.5% Bull Mastiff / 50% everything else imaginable. DNA tests are not 100% accurate but I can see a couple of these breeds! ----- Size: 45 lbs ----- Status: owner surrender, again and again and again ----- Compatible with: dogs, cats, children ----- Suitable for: home with fenced yard, must be active. ----- Medical/Behavioral Needs: none major noted. We have not had any issues with Vika at rescue, she plays with the other dogs great. She is one of the highest energy dogs we have ever met. Would to great with a runner or biker or hiker. Her last family had her less than 2 weeks before taking her to others homes and vacationing. She was not given time to decompress. They said she was unprovoked aggressive with their other dog. Something amiss for sure as she came from a home with dogs and is with dogs here at rescue and amazing. ----- Additional Notes: **A secure fenced yard is required** Vika is awesome. She is so silly and made herself right at home as soon as she walked through our door. She is incredibly intelligent and would make a great agility girl! She is eager to please and a busy body. She is lean and long legged. She reminds me of her mother Miriam whom we had listed as a border collie mix and if the dna test is right, she was indeed 1/4 border collie . All of the breeds in Vika's genetics are intelligent working breeds. She shows it! She loves to learn new things, is very command driven, and loves to play. Her temporary owners have done a wonderful job with her training. She can certainly benefit from some more boundaries but that is expected for a young pup. If you are not an active person willing and eager to continue conditioning her mind, please do not apply. She is absolutely adorable but she is an active girl. She is beautifully crate trained as well. Vika is a very very high energy dog. Her next move must be her last. You must be active and she will thrive. This is the best dog for someone who loves the outdoors and gets moving, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If interested in meeting and potentially adopting, please read the adoption requirements and complete the adoption application located at forbellessake.org.
