*URGENT*

Meet Vinny! He is a 5 and a half year old Lab mix that really needs your help to find a home. Vinny is a happy boy but needs a very special, patient home. Vinny is a dog that we wouldn’t normally be able to adopt out, but unfortunately, we aren’t able to find a rescue to take him into their program.
Vinny needs a consistent leader that can take the time to really work with him. Vinny will NOT do good in a home with cats, other dogs or children. Vinny resource guards food and toys, and he does have a history of biting if pushed far enough.

Vinny originally came to us as a found dog in August of 2019. He was adopted to a great home, and she tried her best to work with him on his resource guarding issues for 4 months, but she was unable to keep him after he attacked her cat (cat is fine, luckily no injuries). He was adopted again in early January (yes, we disclosed all previous information), but after biting the owner (resource guarding food that wasn’t Vinny’s), Vinny was returned to the shelter.

We are not comfortable putting him to sleep, but unfortunatley due to space and lack of resources his time here is almost out. Many of our local shelters are full or also have dogs with similar issues as Vinny who have not found their homes yet, so they can not take him. We say this not to scare people into adopting him, but to be completely transparent with you all. Adopting out a special needs dog with a bite history, whether provoked or not, is a difficult task. We are urging people to be understanding and to share our plea, if you are unable to adopt. If you feel like Vinny could be a fit for your family, please contact us immediately. ... See MoreSee Less
