Cape Ann Animal Aid Pet of the Week
Hello, Vincen here. I am in a foster home, weigh about 30 pounds and am low rider, most likely part bassett hound or dachshund mixed with Labrador retriever. I was rescued as a in Puerto Rico and am now 10 months old. My foster mom said would recommend I go to a home that has a (preferably confident) dog already. I do well with other dogs and children, although strangers and loud noises still scare me. I do my business outside like a champ, as long as I am being taken out at least three to four times a day. I’m super sweet and gentle and like to hoard toys. If you feel you might be a good fit, please fill out an online application today so you can see me in my foster home. Visit www.capeannanimalaid.org for more information.
