An adorable dog with a timid personality is desperate to find his new best friend this year. Vinny the nine-year-old shar-pei cross is currently being cared for by the animal welfare team at Dogs Trust Darlington while he awaits a loving family to take him home.
The team say Vinny is a sweet, calm boy who is a little on the shy side, but he loves his foodie treats. Manager Alex Hennessey told the Mirror: "He is a lovely, quiet boy; a real joy to have around. He loves heading out in the car to explore new places and he likes to play too."
