Story
Meet Vincent (Vinny) — a 1‑year‑old, 31 lb Staffordshire Terrier mix with a heart full of love, a nose for adventure, and the sweetest puppy spirit! Quick Facts: Name: Vincent Breed: Staffordshire Terrier Mix Age: 1 year old Weight: 31 lbs. House-Trained: Almost there! Around 95% Crate-Trained: Yes (but doesn’t love being in the crate) Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Not yet tested Good with Kids: Yes (older kids only due to his “mouthy play”) Energy Level: Medium Fence Required: No (must be leashed, fence preferred) About Vincent’s Breed: Our best guess is that Vinny is a Staffordshire Terrier mixed breed. Staffordshire Terriers are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and affectionate nature, often forming deep bonds with their families. Despite their strong, muscular appearance, they are typically gentle, people‑oriented dogs who thrive on companionship and love being included in daily life. They’re energetic, playful, and eager to please, making them wonderful companions for active households. An ideal home for a Staffordshire Terrier is one that can offer regular exercise, consistent training, and plenty of quality time together. They do best with families who appreciate their enthusiasm and can provide structure, mental stimulation, and affection. A secure yard for playtime, daily walks, and a family committed to positive reinforcement help them flourish into the devoted, joyful companions they’re known to be. What to Love about Vincent: Vinny is still filling out and loving every mealtime along the way. He’s mostly housetrained but, like any young pup, he’ll need consistency and routine to keep him on track. He learns quickly and wants nothing more than to make his people proud. Crates aren’t his favorite because he gets sad being left alone, but he can be crated when needed. Ideally, he’d love a family who is home often so he can soak up all the companionship he craves. This boy is a playful pup who can be a little mouthy during play, so he’d do best in an adult‑only home or one with respectful teens. On leash, he’s enthusiastic and pulls a bit—there are just so many amazing smells out there—but he’s working on his manners and improving every day! Vinny is a people‑loving, treat‑loving, cuddle‑loving sweetheart who adores everyone he meets. He has settled beautifully into his foster home with four dogs ranging from 40 to 134 lbs! He’s more on the submissive side when playing and would be thrilled to have a doggie sibling, though he’d also do great as your one‑and‑only. He hasn’t met cats yet, but given his more submissive nature and lack of interest in chasing, he’d likely be respectful. At his core, Vinny is a loyal shadow—he loves staying by your side, following you from room to room, and showering you with kisses. He’s a loud and proud love bug who wants to be included in everything you do! With his love of sniffing and exploring, he’d make a fantastic trail buddy or adventure companion. Vinny’s Vivacious Highlights: 1 year old, 31 lbs, Staffordshire Terrier mix Mostly housetrained; learns fast Best with adults or respectful teens Great with dogs of all sizes Likely good with cats Loves people, cuddles, and being included Medium energy; loves sniffing and exploring Ideal for a home where someone is around often Vinny is ready to be someone’s loyal best friend, adventure buddy, and cuddle companion. He can’t wait to find the family who will love him as much as he already loves them!
