Notes from Saving Great Animals

Meet Pumpkin! This 6 month old chihuahua mix is curious and very playful. She can be cautious and shy with new people or situations but opens up quickly and builds confidence fast. She loves playing with other dogs and would thrive in a home with another small dog to play with and snuggle with. She is always happy happy happy and makes everyone smile when she’s bouncing around and giving kisses constantly. She does really well in her kennel for meal times and when left home alone for a few hours at a time. She sleeps all through the night. She is still working on potty training but is extremely motivated by treats, so is getting the hang of it. She’s not a purse chihuahua and doesn’t like to be carried around much in general, but will follow her foster family all around the house and loves to be nearby chewing on a yak cheese or throwing a toy around entertaining herself. She has mastered the skill of guarding the porch from squirrels and Amazon delivery people and barks fiercely (in chihuahua) to let everyone know she’s doing her job, but doesn’t bark excessively at nothing.

Pumpkin is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $525.
