About Vinny

Vinny is one of the sweetest boys you'll ever meet. His unmatched personality shines as he eagerly plays with toys and snuggles close at night. While he hasn't fully mastered the doggie door yet, he's very eager to go outside and seems to be potty trained. Vinny is great on a leash and happily goes into his kennel when left alone. He enjoys the company of other dogs at the rescue but can occasionally show a bit of attitude towards other male dogs. For that reason, a laid-back male or a female companion might be best for him. Although he previously lived with cats and should get along, it's wise to consider that every cat and situation is different. Vinny is friendly and affectionate, getting along well with everyone in his foster home. His vet care is up to date, with vaccinations completed and he's ready for a new forever home. If you’re interested in adopting him, fill out an application as the rescue is located in Leavenworth, KS. They do require in-person home visits before adoptions, ensuring the best match for each dog. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
