About Vinny (Pug) in Norwood, MA 02062

Vinny is waiting for you at Pug Rescue of New England in Norwood, MA 02062. Meet Vinny! Don't let his age fool you—8-year-old Vinny has the energy and enthusiasm of a dog half his age! This handsome, neutered pug weighs just under 20 pounds and is looking for a forever home where he can be the center of someone's world. Vinny came from a loving home where his world was disrupted by a new baby and an aging parent. He simply was not able to adapt to the changes, and the difficult decision was made to lovingly surrender him so he could find a quieter home where he could thrive.

He also enjoys playing fetch with his favorite stuffed toys, although adopters should know that he tends to get a little carried away and may dismantle them in his excitement! A budget for tough chew toys should be in effect. He's been getting plenty of exercise and walks which his foster says has reduced his dead lambie count. Vinny loves his food, enjoys treats, and hasn't met a snack he doesn't like. When meeting new people, Vinny can be a bit cautious at first, but he warms up quickly with proper introductions, and becomes a friendly, loving companion. He knows several commands, including sit, paw, and wait, and rides exceptionally well in the car, sitting calmly in his car seat looking out the window during trips. Vinny is house-trained and has excellent hearing, vision, and mobility. He is currently receiving Simparica Trio as his preventative medication and eats Royal Canin dry food twice daily. Vinny's ideal home is one where someone is around most of the time. This was the life he had with his former fam
