Let's Share this Boy and get him a great home!!!
Meet Vinny!
Vinny is a 7 month old lab cross, and currently weighs 60 lbs. Vinny is a very loving boy that loves and seeks affection any chance he can get. He loves cuddles, kisses, and positive reinforcement.
Vinny currently has a 5 year old sister who is a pitbull cross who he loves very much. They constantly wrestle, play, chase each other, and love to sit side-by-side constantly. He has not shown any signs of aggression towards other dogs, or humans, but has yet to interact one-on-one with any dogs except for his sister Veya.
Vinny is an active boy while living with a friend, but we have noticed in routine and practice that he is very calm & lazy when alone with limited distractions or noises. If you are looking for a new addition to your family that is a little less active and busy, Vinny would do best being the only dog in the family. He requires a good amount of walks and would do well with daily interaction with friends and family, if you wish. He also has a pet bunny named Arlo at home who he adores, and has never shown aggression towards.
Vinny just went on his first camping trip and did phenomenal. He was let off the leash and was in the lake all day playing and running. After playing in the water he chilled out quickly on the dock, and had no behavioural issues like anxiety or hyperactivity. Vinny loves his kennel on his own time, but has never been locked in alone for long periods of time. He does very well being left alone in a bigger environment with optimal floor space, toys, treats, and minimal noise.
He is fully house trained with no accidents or damages, but with any 7 month old pup, he will still need some basic training and correction from time to time. He loves all people, including kids, but because of his age and size he still uses his mouth or teeth for affection from time to time. We believe he would do well with older children or adults due to this, but again, he gets along well with any kids.
As his foster family, we love him very much, but due to our busy lifestyle, we don’t always have the time to give to keep him permanently. Our wish is that he finds his forever home who has the love & time to give him.
Vinny is also listed for adoption on https://www.hartrescue.ca/adopt/, though he is under the name “Gus” due to their alphabetical listing policy. Upon meeting him, the family decided that “Vinny” suited his personality better, and it stuck from there. He responds to that name, and we ask that Vinny keeps his name when moving into his forever home.
