Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Vinny is a giant puppy with an even bigger heart! This smart, loving, and playful boy has energy to spare and is always ready for fun. Whether he’s meeting new people, playing rough and tumble with other dogs, or running around with his favorite toys, Vinny brings enthusiasm and joy to everything he does.
He’s house-trained, great in his crate when his humans are away, and knows basic commands like "sit." He’s working hard on leash manners and learning "come" and "home" for his crate—his eagerness to please and sharp mind make him a quick learner. Vinny thrives with structure and would do great with a family that can continue his training and give him plenty of time to play and explore.
Vinny does well with other dogs and enjoys energetic playtime, so a canine sibling with a similar play style would be a bonus. He also does great with older kids who can handle his size and energy. After a good play session, he’s all about soaking up love and affection from his favorite people.
If you’re looking for a smart, curious, and outgoing companion who will keep you active and entertained, Vinny is your guy. He’s ready to find a family who will embrace his big personality and give him the love and playtime he craves. Could Vinny be the perfect fit for your home?
