My story

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

Vinny is soon to be `paw-roled` from our Paws in the Pen program in partnership with the New Mexico Corrections Department! Each dog is paired with two inmate trainers and enrolled in an 8-week training program that is designed to equip the dog with a nice foundation of training that will help them succeed in their new home. Each of these dogs will go home potty and crate trained with a whole list of cues and basic behaviors; to ensure a successful adoption, we are providing four training sessions to adopters, so you can learn what your dog knows, and an invitation to weekly discounted drop-in classes. These dogs also go home with a biothane leash and collar, 6 months of heartworm prevention, are fully up-to-date on all vaccines and medications, and are spayed and neutered.

Vinny is a handsome 7-month-old puppy searching for his forever home. He`s got the looks, with his striking silver-black coat, and he`s soaking up all the training in the program like a puppy sponge.

Exceptionally well-behaved for his age, Vinny is very smart and eager to learn—especially when treats are involved! He picks things up quickly and enjoys positive, reward-based training. Playful and full of puppy charm, Vinny loves to have fun and engage with his people.

Vinny has a gentle and happy personality that makes him a wonderful companion. Whether it’s playtime, learning new tricks, or relaxing together, Vinny will bring joy, loyalty, and love into any home. He may need time a littel extra time to warm up to new people, but treats help open him right up.

If you’re looking for a clever, playful, and loving young pup with a beautiful coat and a big heart, Vinny may be your perfect match.
