Meet Vinny – your new best friend! *Way cuter in person

Vinny is a 2-year-old, neutered Labrador Retriever / Redbone Coonhound / Staffy mix (our best guess), weighing about 35 pounds of pure joy. With his rich chocolate coat and expressive eyes, he even resembles Santa’s Little Helper from The Simpsons — and his personality is just as lovable.

Vinny is truly the definition of a good boy.

He is crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night without fuss. On walks, he’s attentive, and easy to handle. He enjoys getting out and exploring but also knows how to settle and relax once he’s home.

Vinny has a heart of gold and a playful side to match. He loves toys of all kinds — tough chews, plushies, squeaky toys — and he engages with them in a happy, enthusiastic way. He’s affectionate without being overwhelming and thrives on human connection.

Because Vinny spent time in a shelter environment before entering our program, we are continuing to build his confidence and social skills through structured training and day camps with Mirror Image K9. He is learning quickly and making steady progress.

Through our Best Chance Program, we sponsor post-adoption training sessions to ensure long-term success. Not because Vinny is “difficult,” but because we believe every dog deserves a strong, structured foundation in their new home. We support our adopters every step of the way.
