About Vinnie s

Meet Vinny! This handsome dog is a 3-year-old mixed breed, combining the strengths of Dutch and German Shepherds. Weighing around 50 pounds, Vinny embodies athletic charm and a devoted spirit. Vinny is quite intelligent, already knowing commands like “sit.” He is kennel trained and house trained, and he walks nicely on a leash. He thrives with structure and routine, feeling secure when he knows what to expect. At first, Vinny may exhibit some wariness around strangers, but don't let that mislead you. He is very food motivated, and with some gentle introductions and treats, he warms up quickly. Once you're in his circle, you'll find a deeply bonded companion who loves to be near you. This adaptable dog does well with both dogs and cats, making him suitable for multi-pet homes. Vinny is ready for adventures, hikes, training sessions, and cozy evenings at home. At three years old, he's left the wild puppy phase behind while still having plenty of youthful energy to share. Vinny will come with a collar, leash, toy, food bowls, some food, and details about his medical care, including neutering, vaccinations, and microchip information. He deserves a loving family ready to give him stability. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
