Chaos, charm, and one perfect ear. That’s Vinne Van Gogh. He’s a four legged wonder who snores louder than your uncle after Thanksgiving, barrels into a room like a tiny wrecking ball, his heavy hot breathing announces his arrival every single time, and somehow he balances all that chaos with sweet side that makes him impossible not to adore. A master piece that only someone who can giggle through the snorts, snores, and bulldog mischief could love.
If anything of this intrigues you, keep reading and watch his video below. You’ll either be insanely entertained or better yet, you’ll be wanting to bring this adorable menace home:

Vinnie Van Gogh is estimated to be around two-years-old and is a bulldog mix weighing in at 54 lbs. With rescues we cannot guarantee age or breed given we do not know their past. This guy has the looks of a bulldog and he certainly has the personality to go along with it. Vinnie is a classic bulldog through and through- built like a solid brick house, handsome as all-get-out, a little stubborn because he can be, and considers himself to be the greatest work of art since…well, anything. Picasso could never create something this legendary. Being the legend he is and his main character energy, Vinnie prefers a one dog household where the spotlight stays exactly where it belongs. On him and him alone. Just the way he likes it!
Vinnie is a bowling ball powered by Wreck-it-Ralph energy and has a sour patch kid personality. First he’s chaos, then he cuddles. Fair warning though, most cuddles with Vinnie do end up with you covered in slobber, hair, and him very heavily breathing on you with his hot breath LOL. You gotta be someone that likes that type of affection. He stomps, snorts, and accidentally (debatable) redecorates your living room, so best of luck to your pillows. Consider him equal parts demolition crew and sugar-coated sweet heart.
He is somewhat energetic for a bulldog mix but it makes for a good balance of goofy-boy with couch-potato tendencies. True to his bulldog nature, he’s better suited for short walks or backyard playtime rather than long-distance strolls anyway. A securely fenced yard would be ideal since he’s a curious explorer who likes to keep tabs on what’s happening outside. Are you someone that works from home? He’ll be great but hopefully you aren’t someone that is easily distracted by noises because Vinnie literally snores like a grown man and aren’t going to be bothered by his hot heavy breathing. Sweet boy just can’t help it but be noisey. On the brightside, you’ll never not know where he is because you will always hear him regardless of what he’s doing. Even when he’s sleeping LOL. With toys, he loves the squeaky toys and likes to conduct his very own squeak symphony with all his favorite toys. It’s quite comical. He also loves toys that he can turn into his own personal pacifier…We know, he’s a little weirdo and it just adds to his inner belief that he’s a toddler in a wrinkle suit.
Vinnie is ready and waiting to find his perfect match: a family or person who appreciates his bulldog quirks and gives him the structure and security to thrive. In return for that he’ll make sure your life is never boring, filled with laughter, and hot breath snuggles.
We are willing to test Vinnie Van Gogh with anything you need to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
