My personality

My story

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

Meet Vida the Diva! She is a snazzy miniature poodle who was found abandoned on the side of the road, locked in a crate with two other dogs. Her zest for life gives no hint of her struggles or the fear she must have faced.

From the moment she arrived at her foster family's home, Vida knew she belonged. She immediately claimed their hearts ~ and the comfiest spots in the house! But her journey was just beginning.

We knew Vida needed extensive medical care, and after a thorough vet exam we learned she would require two major surgeries. On February 10th, she bravely underwent her first ~ a spay and a mastectomy on her right side. The best news? The masses were confirmed cancer-free!

Through it all, Vida has remained the loving, spunky girl we fell in love with ~ greeting everyone with excitement, stealing the softest spots in the house, and slowly regaining her playful spirit. Now, with her stitches removed and her confidence returning, Vida is back to running in the yard, barking at everyone (because, of course, divas must be heard), and rocking her fabulous wardrobe.

Her second surgery, including a mastectomy on the left side and a much-needed dental, is scheduled for mid to late March.

For now, she’s living her best life… soaking up snuggles, enjoying car rides, and generally overseeing her kingdom from her rightful place as queen of the house.

Whoever is lucky enough to welcome this little star into their home will be getting a dog full of love, resilience, and a whole lot of diva energy!
