Help find Vincent a Home!

Vincent is our beloved foster fail—1.5 years old, handsome as ever, and convinced he’s part athlete, part marshmallow. We absolutely adore him, which is exactly why we’re looking for a home that might be an even better fit for his big personality and bigger zoomies.

Why We’re Looking for a Better Match

We currently live in a house with a small-ish backyard and neighbors nearby, which isn’t ideal for Vincent because he’s fence-reactive (aka: “Excuse me, sir, why are you walking past my fence?”).
With a newborn in the house, it’s tough to supervise his outdoor time as closely as he needs. Vincent lives for being outside—running full speed, ears flapping, living his best action-hero life. Give this boy a large, fenced-in yard, and he will thrive.

A World-Class Athlete… Who Also Loves Snuggles

Vincent is fast. Like, “are we sure he’s not training for the dog Olympics?” fast.
But after he gets his energy out? He becomes a cuddle puddle of love. He will curl up with you like he’s half his size and melt into your arms. A true himbo with a heart of gold.

Great With Other Dogs (and Especially His Sassy Pom Sister)

Vincent is wonderful with other non-aggressive dogs. He currently lives with a sassy little Pomeranian sister, and he is gentle, playful, and respectful with her. He adapts well to canine friends who have good manners and a friendly attitude.

Sweet With Babies & Kids

Despite his big zoomies, Vincent is a total gentleman with little ones. He’s been so sweet and gentle with our baby.

About Me

Hi, I’m Vincent — part track star, part oversized teddy bear. My hobbies include sprinting like I’m late for a flight, sunbathing dramatically, and turning into a weighted blanket the moment I’m tired. I’m basically the full package: athlete by day, snuggle bug by night.

Looking For

A responsible, dog-savvy human with a large, fenced-in backyard where I can practice my moves (Olympic scouts, take note). Bonus points if you enjoy to tug, structured routines, and appreciate a man who can’t resist peanut butter.

My Green Flags

Great with other friendly dogs — especially those with good manners

Surprisingly gentle with babies & kids (I know, I contain multitudes)

E-collar trained + professionally schooled (yes, I’m educated !)

Crate trained — I appreciate having my own bachelor pad

Food motivated (peanut butter > literally everything)

My “Work in Progress” Traits (aka: don’t judge me)

I get nervous when strangers — especially men — barge in unannounced.
(Like… who raised you? Knock, my dude.)

I can be fence-reactive because I take my job as Neighborhood Supervisor VERY seriously.

I need slow introductions and a human who respects my feelings. Once I warm up, I’m a certified love bug.

Perfect First Date

You toss a ball. I run at the speed of light.
You offer peanut butter. I propose marriage.

Education

Vincent has completed extensive training programs with me and is fully on and off leash trained. He knows:

Sit / stay
Down / stay
Heel on and off leash
Come when called on and off leash
Place on any object pointed at, can be held for 2+ hours
Stay on place while guests are at the door
He’s muzzle trained, crate trained, potty trained

  • Has been trained as a “go anywhere dog” and has made dozens and dozens of trips to farmers markets, restaurant patios, events, friends’ houses, and more. *

He’s met hundreds of new people and loves virtually all people and dogs. However, he has an instinct to react to strangers entering a front door. He is muzzled when new people are entering a space, but is fully under control with ease.
