Vinny

April 1, 2026 | Toledo's Pet Bull Project | Adoptable Dogs

Meet Vinny!

Tiny body (11lbs), big personality, and king of his castle. This 3-year-old chihuahua is the definition of “small but mighty.” Vinny has that classic chihuahua charm: a little sassy, a lot loyal, and always ready to let the big dogs know who’s really in charge. Vinny lives comfortably with both dogs and cats and does fine sharing his space, as long as everyone respects that he’s the VIP. He’s also been around kids as young as 6 and did well, especially when they understand that a gentleman like Vinny appreciates a little respect with his cuddles. Speaking of cuddles, this is where Vinny shines. His favorite place in the world? In your arms, snuggled up. He loves being held, doted on, and treated like royalty. Vinny can be a little nervous about new people when first meeting them, with time and treats he will soon fall into your arms. Applicants should live within an hour of Toledo, Ohio. Due to Vinny using his voice, apartment settings are not ideal.

I understand the statements I have read about this dog are true based upon the foster evaluation of this dog. I understand this dog may behave differently (negatively or positively) in my home. I understand that while the dog might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with my animal(s) or child(ren). I understand that the dog may be housebroken in the home of the foster, but may relapse in my home. I understand that the dog is represented to me as it performs and behaves in the foster home and any statements made regarding the dog are conditional to the foster home setting. I have read all of the information about the dog and understand I cannot claim that I did not understand the facts about this dog as understood by Toledo’s PET Bull Project and/or the foster. I understand that the statements made regarding this dog are simply overviews and are not guaranteed. Furthermore, I understand that my adoption fee is non-refundable for any reason. By clicking agree you are indicating that you have answered every question truthfully and are aware that any false answers will be grounds for immediate rejection. You also give Toledo's PET Bull Project permission to contact all personal references and your veterinarian, giving them permission to speak with us. We would like to thank you for your interest.*
