Vivian Is Cranford's Pet Of The Week

CRANFORD, NJ — Meet Vivian! She has been chosen as Cranford Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Our sweet girl, Vivian, turned 5 this October. She is a 30 pound mutt with a stripey face and a signature underbite! Vivian was born in South Carolina and lived briefly at a shelter until an NJ-based rescue group (Luv Furever) brought her up north to find her "furever" home. She was only a few weeks old when she made the long trip up to NJ.

Since we brought her home in the winter of 2012, she has proven to be the most incredible dog. Well behaved, knows all the commands, loves other dogs and loves giving people kisses!

Vivian has been with us through two moves and one little human sister, Nora. Nora and Vivian are besties!

We just moved to Cranford this past August, so Viv is happily exploring her new town. She loves going for family walks, outdoor dining in town, and laying in the sun on our new deck."
