Story
Vince’s good looks make him pretty hard to resist! But this handsome boy is looking for something more than someone who thinks he's cute. He's looking for someone willing to give him the time and patience he needs to blossom.
Vince didn't get the early socialization that puppies need to feel confident in the world, so new people and experiences can be a little overwhelming. He's a timid, cautious boy who is still learning that humans can be pretty wonderful. He's already making progress, and with patience, kindness, and encouragement, we're excited to see his confidence grow!
A few things to know about Vince: he is quiet, gentle, and naturally more laid-back. He is a BIG fan of anything involving food! Vince would benefit from a confident, friendly canine companion.
Vince's future family should know as a puppy he is going to need support with all things training! Crate, leash, potty, basic, you name it and he is ready to learn it!
Vince isn't going to be the puppy who runs up to every stranger looking for attention. He needs someone who understands that trust takes time and that progress sometimes happens in tiny little steps. But for the right person, watching Vince discover confidence, affection, and the joys of being a loved family member could be one of the most rewarding experiences imaginable.
Vince doesn't need someone to change who he is. He just needs someone to show him that the world isn't such a scary place after all.
If you have a little extra patience, a lot of love, and room in your heart for a shy little guy, Vince would love the chance to meet you.
Vince is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 11/21/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and 11:00am. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
