About Vinny

Vinny is a lively young dog, recently rescued and ready for a new home. He came to us after being returned to a shelter, where he struggled to fit in with a dominant dog. The good news is that Vinny has a friendly disposition and genuinely enjoys the company of dogs his size. He currently plays well with various dogs, from a playful puppy to some adult companions. With a knack for learning, he quickly picked up commands like 'sit' just by observing his friends. Though he can be a bit apprehensive in new situations, a gentle, confident dog sibling could really boost his comfort level. It's worth noting that Vinny can be possessive over his food around other dogs, so a separate feeding setup initially would help establish boundaries. Despite his initial nervousness after being surrendered, he has shown significant progress, and with patience, he will thrive even more. At 23 lbs and around six months old, he's filled with energy and would appreciate a fenced yard for safe playtime. Vinny has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, so he’s ready to join a loving family. If you think you can offer him the forever home he deserves, don't hesitate. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
