San Andreas, CA…Meet Vinny (A058716), a male Labrador Retriever mix, 5 months, 25 pounds. Vinny is a mellow, affectionate pup with a gentle spirit and soulful eyes. He was raised alongside his two brothers and has been well socialized, making him a sweet, friendly companion who enjoys both human attention and time with other dogs.
Vinny is curious and observant, taking in his surroundings with quiet interest. He’s the kind of pup who warms up quickly and is eager to connect. With consistent routines, gentle guidance, and lots of love, Vinny will blossom into a loyal, loving companion.

Whether you’re heading out for a walk or settling in for a quiet evening at home, Vinny will be right there with you—ready to share in the moment. If you’re looking for a young dog with a calm demeanor and an affectionate heart, Vinny may be just the one.
