About Vinnie

Vinnie came from a tough background of neglect and abuse. When rescued, he was just skin and bones with pleading eyes, living in a junk-filled room with another dog and only given chicken scratch to eat. A few weeks of good meals and affection have transformed him—Vinnie now has a real spark. In the yard, he seemed confused at first, probably never having spent time outside before. He was making progress with leash walking but has recently shut down—it’s clear he still needs to feel safe before jumping into new things. Vinnie is outgoing with people, adores treats, and is both cute and charming. He’s not house trained yet, but he shines in any home willing to offer patience and genuine care. He’s ready for someone to spend time helping him settle in—he absolutely deserves that chance. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
