Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Vince is very chatty (see his video) and sweet. He loves to snuggle up to you and sleep the day away wherever you are. Would make a great therapy dog! He will always tell you when he has to go with a little whine and bark and an intense stare (mind control). He is trained to sit and lie down as well and loves treats when he obeys. He is not a picky eater so watch your plate if you leave him alone with it. ;)
He is happiest at home and seems nervous when we go in the car or to the office..at the office he has to be right next to me in my chair, he would be a great support dog for someone.
He does not enjoy long walks..but short ones to explore and go potty. He is not fond of other dogs on leash, but this is pretty normal for many dogs and something he needs to work on.
Vince is a sweet dog to his companion. He would be best for a quiet older couple or someone with older kids but no young kids as he is not fond of a lot of action.
Even though he's been a little bit needy in his temp foster home (can't blame him after all he's been through) he was getting upset when left alone, but within a minute he had calmed down and he was sound asleep when the foster mom returned.
When he gets to know you he likes to talk to you and can carry a full conversations..it is so cute :) CHECK OUT HIS VIDEO!
