About Vinnie Springfield

Meet Vinnie Springfield! This handsome three-year-old Dutch and German Shepherd mix weighs about 50 pounds of athletic charm and affectionate loyalty. Vinnie is a smart boy who’s mastered commands like “sit” and is kennel, potty, and crate trained. He walks nicely on a leash and thrives on routine and clear expectations. At first, he can be a bit wary of newcomers, but don’t let that deter you. He’s very food motivated, so with a quick treat and a gentle introduction, he opens up beautifully. Once you’re in his circle, he forms deep bonds and loves being close to his people. Vinnie is great with both dogs and cats, making him a fantastic fit for multi-pet households. At three years old, he’s energetic enough for adventures like hikes and training sessions but also enjoys cozy evenings at home. He’s eager to find a stable, loving family who will reciprocate the loyalty he has to offer. Vinnie comes with a collar, leash, toy, two food bowls, some food, and all his medical records and microchip information. His adoption fee is $400, which is tax-deductible and covers his neuter, vaccines, heartworm testing and treatment, and microchip. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
