PUMPKIN

My story

PUMPKIN IS AN ESCAPE ARTIST AND NEEDS AN EXPERIENCED, DILIGENT ADOPTER THAT LIVES IN AN APARTMENT OR HAS A DOUBLE GATED YARD. AS A YOUNG DOG THAT JUST CAME INTO OUR RESCUE SHE IS NOT COMPLETELY HOUSEBROKEN AND IS STILL LEARNING TO WALK ON A LEASH. SHE WOULD DO BEST IN A HOME WITHOUT CHILDREN AND THAT HAS AN EXISTING PLAYFUL MALE DOG HER SIZE (NO LARGE BREEDS). Pumpkin is a two-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who will steal your heart – and your socks! She is obsessed with socks! Rescued along with her brother, Bean, Pumpkin is high-spirited, athletic, and fearless. She loves to play ball and unstuff toys. She also watches TV more intently than any dog we have ever seen, and reacts to all animals from the Budweiser Clydesdales to the Geico Lizard! She loves people, and is very dog social. We would love for her to be adopted with her brother, but are open to placing her in a home with another playful dog similar in size. We do not believe Pumpkin should be an only dog. Pumpkin is an escape artist and needs an experienced, diligent adopter with a secure home and yard. She has made great strides in her housebreaking, leash walking and basic obedience, but will need a savvy adopter who will provide plenty of structure and training to help her become a good canine citizen. She is eager to please but sensitive, and needs to be guided with gentle corrections. Her exuberance does not make her a good fit for families with small children. --- If you are interested in adopting PUMPKIN please fill out our adoption application by clicking this LINK.
