Vincent (Nickname, Vinnie)

Meet Vinnie! 🐾💙 Hi everyone! My name is Vinnie, but my friends sometimes call me Vin, or Vincent if they’re feeling fancy! This is the name I arrived at the sanctuary with. I’m an incredibly friendly, affectionate boy with a BIG personality and lots of energy to burn! I’m looking for an active family who can keep up with my enthusiasm for life. Ideally, my new humans will have experience with a breed like mine and understand just how much exercise, stimulation and engagement I need to keep me happy! One of my absolute favourite things is training! I love learning new things, especially when there are tasty treats involved. I’m a proper foodie, so the way to my heart is definitely through my tummy! I really enjoy activities that keep my brain busy, and I thrive when I have something fun to focus on. I do enjoy playing with toys, but there are a few things my future family should know. I can sometimes be a little protective over fluffy toys, and I have shown guarding behaviour with one of these during my time at the sanctuary. Because of this, my carers recommend avoiding fluffy toys to help prevent any issues. Hard plastic toys are a different story! I’m not particularly bothered about those. I might chase one if you throw it, but whether I bring it back is entirely up to me! If you’d like to know more about my toy preferences and how best to manage them, our dog trainer, Gary Mathlin, is happy to offer further advice via email upon request. Now, here’s something else you should know about me… I’ve got springs for legs! I’m a very bouncy boy and can jump incredibly high, especially when I’m excited! Because of this, I’ll need a very secure garden with fencing over 7ft high to help keep me safe. Above all, I’m a super friendly boy with so much love to give. I absolutely adore affection, spending time with people and being involved in whatever you’re doing! If you’re an active, experienced dog lover looking for a fun, energetic and affectionate companion, I might just be the boy for you! Could you be the family I’ve been waiting for? Lots of love, Vinnie! 🐾💙
