Vinny
German Shepherd Dog / Mixed · Adult · Male · Medium · Estero, FL
Notes from Hopeful Paws of Florida
VINNY IS READY FOR HIS FOREVER HOME!
Meet Vinny — 4 years old, 45 pounds, perfectly sized, and officially DONE with his training!
Vinny has worked hard, and now he’s waiting for the one thing he’s been training for all along: his forever home. ❤️
Vinny would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can have his people all to himself. A secure, fenced-in yard would be ideal so he can run, play, and enjoy being a dog.
If you’re an active person, Vinny could be an amazing match! He would thrive with two good walks a day, playtime, and a family who wants a dog to be part of their everyday adventures.
At 45 pounds, he’s the perfect size — big enough to have fun and play, but not so big that he takes over the house!
Most importantly, Vinny has completed his training. He has put in the work. Now he needs someone who will continue giving him structure, exercise, love, and the stability he deserves.
He’s ready.
He’s waiting.
And somewhere out there is the person who is going to look at Vinny and say:
“You’re finally home.” ❤️
VINNY — 4 YEARS OLD • 45 LBS • TRAINING COMPLETED • ONLY DOG HOME • FENCED YARD PREFERRED He is affectionate, deeply loyal, and already knows his commands.
Vinny is in Fort Myers, Florida.
