Description:

Vinnie is a great dog that everyone who sees falls in love with. He has an old soulful face but from the ears back he is all young dog. He is only 22 months old and runs circles around the outside of the house when I get home from work. His mobility was limited when he first came to live with me but now is well into his healing process from surgery on his left rear knee. He was born with a luxating patella, basically his knee cap wasn't where it belonged. He now runs and plays along with my dog who is the same age. 

He gets along great with other dogs, my 17 year old cat, and kids. He is young enough to keep up with the big dogs and gentle enough to put his head on your knee for a soft pat. He would do well in a home with a young family, a single person (like me) or a couple soon to retire as he loves to travel.

He is completely housetrained and can go for several hours with out accidents in the house. He is also crate trained and doesn't mind being in there if you feel it's needed. He loves to be near people. He was doing well on leash walks before his surgery. We have successfully completed a basic obedience class and will soon start an intermediate class. 

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
