Furry Friend Friday: Vinny

Hi there, I'm Vinny!

I'm a 6 year old lab/collie mix. I'm a pretty laid back guy with moderate energy who seems to be good with other dogs, kids, and cats.

I'm smart and looking for a family that likes to hang out outside and snuggle up on the couch.

I'm vaccinated and neutered, and so ready to find my family!
