My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Vito is currently in Smithfield (Southeast) Virginia**

Hi everyone, I’m Vito! The nice people that saved me said I should tell you about myself so I can find my forever home.

I’m estimated at two years old and am a mixed breed boy of about 50 pounds. I am potty trained, neutered and vaccinated. Yay!

I had a very hard first couple of years so I really need a special home. I am a smart boy who craves companionship and am eager to please my people. I absolutely love being part of a pack so my home must have at least one other dog, preferably of similar size or larger. I have a high prey drive so there should be no cats or other small animals in my home. I can also get overly stimulated and forget my manners sometimes so I need a home without small children. I do well with kids that are about 12 or older! I also need a home with a 6 foot fence.

I need a strong, confident person. I am a very good boy and I really need structure, routine and exercise.

I know my perfect home is out there! If you have no little people or animals in your home, at least one other dog (or two!) and can provide a strong lead and structured life...we could live happily ever after together!!
