Vance's basic bio is below, but we maintain more detailed information about each of our animals on our website, which is also always up to date with animals removed immediately once they are adopted.

Additionally, please note that the breed listed for Vance is just our best guess based on the dog's physical features. We cannot make any guarantees about the accuracy of our guesses. PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO VOLUME, WE ARE GENERALLY UNABLE TO RESPOND TO INQUIRIES MADE USING THE 'ASK ABOUT ME' BUTTON. Please reach out to us directly using the contact information on our website: www.muddypawsrescue.org. Vance is a joy to host! He is so playful and loves to be nearby his humans. He enjoys early morning & late evening walks when NYC's noises aren't as loud. He sniffs his way along his walks within our green complex grounds. Vance can be coaxed into sitting outside in the sun and watching life go by, its helped him understand what causes which noises. He only has one working eye due to a birth defect but gets by pretty well despite that. He is very comfortable inside, even in an apartment on a noisy intersection. He is so playful with his toys, he prances around the apartment with his squeaky toy balls & plushies. Vance will bring a favorite toy over to you to play with him too. He is crate trained and easily sleeps on his bed inside it until hes let out for walks or to play - overnight or for periods during the day. Vance does the best full-body stretches when he is let out of the crate! He will also curl up next to you on the couch, when allowed, and will sleep peacefully against you with quiet snores. He will reward you with wet kisses when hes happy and comfortable. He eats 3x/day with portions split between a slow-feeder & a Kong chew toy. He will eat basically any treat you give him. He is very food motivated and will follow you around the kitchen thinking he will be getting a treat just for being there. He gets a lick mat with peanut butter (his favorite) & puzzle board with treats for extra enrichment time. We go out for walks about every 5-6 hours. His first walk is usually between 630-7AM and the last one is between 11-12PM. He is house-trained but had two accidents when he first arrived. Weve been using a gentle leader & leash for walks recently to help train him to heel better and to be a little less stressed on the walks. He's been trained to sit, stay, and come. He will do so well in his forever home, with lots of love and encouragement!
