About Vinny’s Breed Mix:
Yorkie-Chihuahua mixes are known for their affectionate nature, compact size, and loyal hearts. They tend to form deep bonds with their people and thrive in calm, cozy environments where they can feel safe and loved. Vinny is the perfect example of this lovable mix—tiny in size, but overflowing with quiet charm and companionship.
Vinny’s Story & Personality:
Vinny may be a senior, but he’s still got so much love to give. He’s a relaxed little guy who’s happy to simply be near you, curling up on the couch or following you from room to room. Never pushy or loud, Vinny brings a sense of peace and comfort to those around him. He does beautifully on a leash and doesn’t require a fenced yard—he’s perfectly content with a few leisurely strolls and lots of snuggle time. This sweet boy is on Vetmedin 2.5 mg twice a day for his heart ($100 minimum a month for that), but that hasn’t stopped him from being the best little buddy anyone could ask for.
Vinny’s Perfect Home:
A quiet home where he can relax and enjoy companionship
Someone who values a calm, easygoing pup
Doesn’t require a yard – just some leash walks and love
Other mellow dogs are welcome
A family ready to spoil a deserving senior
