Personality: Vinny was recently rescued from the home of an animal hoarder. In spite of the circumstances he's come from, Vinny is very well socialized and friendly. He is already ruling the roost in his new foster home. Vinny was very matted and dirty on arrival, so he had to be shaved very short. With a proper diet and regular grooming, he will be looking his best in no time.

Personality: Layla is a great companion who would love a home where she will get lots of hugs, kisses, and someone to cuddle with. Layla came from a local over-burdened animal control. She's a happy dog who loves to go for walks, car rides, play fetch and just be with people. Layla is smart, too. She has already learned sit, stay, come, down, "gimme paw" and leave it. Layla is housebroken and crate trained.
