📝 Shelter Notes:

8/5/26: Vinny greeted staff with a wiggly body and wagging tail. He was easy to leash and walked out on a loose leash. In the runs, he found another tennis ball and happily played with it before walking back to his kennel on a loose leash.

8/6/26: Vinny was vocal during morning feeding and cleaning. When staff approached, he greeted them with a wiggly body, high wagging tail, and soft open smiling mouth with a loose tongue. Once leashed, he walked on a loose leash going in and out of the building.

8/8/26: Vinny was quietly lying at the front of his kennel. When approached, he displayed a loose body, wagging tail, and soft closed mouth.

8/9/26: Vinny greeted staff with a high wagging tail and loose body. He was easy to leash and walked nicely on a loose leash. Outside, he enjoyed playing and running along the fence with a tennis ball in his mouth before returning to his kennel on a loose leash.

💖 Vinny is a playful, happy young boy who absolutely loves his tennis balls! He repeatedly greets staff with a wiggly body and wagging tail, is easy to leash, and walks beautifully on a loose leash. He has even shown playful interest in a neighboring dog through the fence. The kennel environment can make him restless at times, but outside he shines as a fun, affectionate, energetic pup who would love a home where he can play, exercise, and finally relax.
