Vinny (b 3/2009) is a laid-back, senior fella looking to live out his retirement in doggy paradise! Vinny is a Silky Terrier with a gentle, sweet-n-social temperament. Vinny gets along well with children (he enjoys some gentle play) but requests that any children in the household understand respectful boundaries with pets. At Vinny's age he's been there done that so he prefers to leave the rough and tumble to the youngsters! This old fella loves to snuggle under the covers and sleep warm in bed with his favorite people; he loves his human companions and makes friends with people easily. Vinny is also patient with other dogs and currently lives with another doggie friend. This senior sweetie would love to find a calm home with a retired person/couple or a family who enjoy some of the following (in no particular order): leisurely walks around the block, old episodes of Dallas, spending time together, keeping their lap warm with a new doggie friend! Vinny is a guy who will benefit from wearing belly bands inside the home as he likes to mark his territory; belly bands are an afforable, simple solution to potty training, senior accidents, and other behaviors of this kind. Potential adopters will also want to keep in mind that Vinny does experience mild seizures now and then, for which he takes CBD oil and Gabapentin . This senior sweetheart is looking for long days of window watching, warm cuddles with his humans, and living the easy life he deserves!
Please Note: A Courtesy Post designates that a dog is still in the home of its owner and not in a Muddy Paws foster home. This means that our exposure to the dog is limited since we are only assisting the owner in finding a new home for their pet. If needed, we will put you in touch with the owner if you have questions.
The suggested adoption donation for Vinny is $265. We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes.
Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver.
Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each dog, based on the dog’s needs. If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.
