about vino
Vino is like a delightful blend of sweet undertones—while he may not be vintage in age, he's surely experienced less-than-savory encounters with humans in his past. We are thrilled to support this young man as he blossoms and learns to trust in the beauty of solid, reliable relationships.
Much like a fine glass of wine, Vino is simply delightful. He strikes the perfect balance of fun and chill, making him a joy to have around. Vino is perfectly house-trained and crate-trained, though he has some significant kennel anxiety from his past experiences. To help him adapt, we maintain a consistent routine of 3-4 hours of kenneling on weekdays. When he’s not in the kennel, he enjoys the comforts of a cozy bedroom, monitored by a Furbo 360 camera to encourage positive behavior.
To ease his nerves when away from his humans, Vino takes two types of anxiety medication. While this significantly helps, it's essential that he continues to receive positive reinforcement and a slow buildup of a solid, trusting bond. Vino is searching for a cool, confident work-from-home mom who can sweep his heart away and whisper sweet nothings in his ear!
Vino knows commands like “sit,” “come,” “look,” “wait,” “bed,” and his favorite—“ball!” He’s learning patience when it comes to food and treats. He quickly understands that a closed fist means he needs to back up and wait nicely for his rewards. Currently, Vino prefers to dine without friends close by as he can be a bit particular during mealtime; however, this is easily managed by feeding him in a separate space.
Vino enjoys enticing his canine foster siblings to play, although his momma believes in giving them time to bond first. He loves running around the yard playing fetch—just make sure everyone has their own ball! When he’s ready to play, he can be quite the little pest, eagerly alerting you to his playful intentions.
Vino is a bit shy and nervous about fast, loud noises, but he’s become more confident in his surroundings each day. Walks are a breeze with his gentle leader, and he happily prances down the road. Bath time is a treat for him—add some peanut butter to your tub surround or lickimat, and he’ll happily hang out for a scrub down!
Overall, Vino is a loving pup who will thrive with someone patient and kind-hearted. While he has his quirks and fine-tuning to do, he is a gentle soul who loves to snuggle on blankets when it’s time to settle in for the night. His forever home should be filled with cozy blankets, plenty of toys, and an appreciation for life’s little pleasures.
With a hint of spice and a touch of sweetness, Vino is sure to embody all the wonderful qualities we love about his breed!
