Venice – male (Italian Cities Litter)

Venice, affectionately known as Vinny, is a 4-month-old unknown breed pup with a heart as big as his puppy-dog eyes. He was found on the streets of Tijuana with his three sisters, and while they’ve all been adopted, Vinny is still waiting for his forever family.

At about 22 pounds now (and likely 45–55 pounds full grown), Vinny is the perfect mix of playful and calm. He’s incredibly smart and food-motivated — already mastering “sit,” “down,” and even “paw,” which he learned in just three days from an 11-year-old! He is learning to walk on a leash and appears to be a pro already, and he's fully potty-trained, so you'll get the fun of a puppy without the mess!

Vinny sleeps through the night in his crate (though he wouldn’t mind upgrading to a cozy human bed) and has lovely house manners for such a young pup. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes after a short warm-up, has peacefully coexisted with a bird, and doesn’t chase cats — though he may bark as he figures them out.

He’s also wonderful with kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens.

If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, family-friendly puppy who will grow into a loyal lifelong companion, Venice is your guy.
