Viggo is incredibly sweet and loves gentle pets and curling up with human friends. Viggo has the cutest little meows and mews and is starting to really enjoy playing with little balls, especially those that jingle! He loves watching the world around him and looking out windows, and he gets along well with the resident cats in his foster home. Although a little shy with humans, Viggo has no fear with the Boston Terrier in his foster home! Viggo would do best in a quiet home with someone or a family who can give him lots of love and attention, but also be very gentle, calm, and patient with him as he gets used to a new home. He might spend a little time under the bed while he’s feeling out his new home, but the wait will be worth it!

I was walking my dog and an unkempt man pushing several shopping carts full of items approached her to say hello – totally fine. When it came time to cross the street he started speaking to me in a language I am not familiar with and following me and my pup pretty closely. I smiled, waved, said “Have a good day!” but he didn’t seem to understand. He kept following me, using the carts to push us further and further off the sidewalk and closer to the river.
