~DOB: 04/2021 Weight: 44 pounds Energy level: low-to-moderate Overall drive: moderate Location: Whittier, CA Meet Vinca, your future best friend and part-time sunshine enthusiast. This sweet, soulful Mal mix is the perfect blend of cuddle bug and casual adventurer. Whether it’s a slow morning soaking up rays, a game of fetch in the yard, or a peaceful coffee shop hang, Vinca is simply happy to be by your side. A little shy at first, Vinca is like the best kind of story as she unfolds beautifully with patience. Once she trusts you, her playful, affectionate personality shines. She’ll trot around proudly with her favorite toy, invite you into a game of fetch (her absolute favorite), and then curl up nearby for a well-earned nap. Bonus: her joyful grass wiggles after potty breaks are guaranteed to make you smile. Vinca is wonderfully neutral with people, dogs, and even small critters. She’s polite in public, calm in the car, and has great house manners. She’s learned her basics, responds best to gentle guidance, and thrives with positive reinforcement (cheddar cheese is her love language). Her ideal home is a calm, low-noise environment with someone around often: think work-from-home or an active retiree as she can exhibit crate anxiety if left alone for long periods. She’d love a respectful dog sibling but would also be content soaking up all your attention. If Vinca were human, she’d be an ER nurse who is capable, compassionate, and ready to relax after a job well done. All she needs now is her person. Could that be you?
