7/17/25-Update from foster mom!

Hello, this is Vince, he goes by Vinny! 

He came from a breeder and is around 3-4 years old​ and weighs 90 pounds. 

He is a sweet and friendly dog that loves getting attention. He has come such a long way! He can be shy around new people​, but will come up to you if not pressured. 

He does show some insecurities around men and requires patience with them. 

​Requires a physical fence. 

He loves to play with toys! He has been around kids one time and did show interest in them, and didn’t shy away. 

He does have some anxiety but is handled well with his prescribed medication. 

He enjoys going on walks. 

Another dog in the house​ is required.  He does great with our resident dog and cuddles and plays with her. 

He has not been around cats and shows a little interest in squirrels/rabbits but does not chase them.

Dog – Required (medium size or larger)

Vince is a two-year old gorgeous, large cream colored boy in need of a family, including a dog sibling. What a lover!  

He is crate trained, working on leash manners while loving his walks, and loves his meals…. with this in mind, he needs to keep moving and maybe drop a few pounds. An active playmate (medium-sized or bigger) in a fenced yard would be best for helping him to get in better shape. 
 
New experiences can cause him some stress, so his family will need to be patient during his transition to his new home, but his medications are doing wonders! 
 
We’re not sure how he’ll do with cats yet (his foster home is catless), but he is more of a couch potato than hunter right now. 
 
He has had some interaction with children, but might do best with older children as he’s a big guy. Think 90-pound gentle giant.  
 
He will do best with people who are home more than not due to his tendency to get anxious. And he really needs that dog sibling to snuggle up with at the end of a play session.
 
What a beautiful dog! And now he just needs an experienced family to help him find his forever home.
