My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Tink!

Hello all you fine looking people. My name is Tink! I'm a senior fella and weigh just 15 pounds. You'd never believe I'm an older man with some of my puppy spunk and antics, though. I'll dance for you and give you kisses and all the love that I have in my tiny little body. Well, I guess when I get tired, I can get grumbly like an old man, and I don't have a problem telling others that I'm not fond of being disturbed when I'm sleeping. I recently got my crummy eye removed, and that makes me feel so much better. I should only live with adults in my forever home since loud, fast movements can startle me. I do fine with the other dogs in my foster home, but again, if they disturb my sleep, they disturb the peace. A calm, super laid back, non-reactive dog who doesn't need a bestie would be great, or I'd be happy being your one and only as well! I'm fine watching other dogs play, but I won't join in with them. Observing is my jam. I also get along fine with the cats here and could happily live with them in my forever home, as long as they aren't going to try to sleep with me. When I get tired, my foster mom just puts me in a different room for nap time, and that makes everything right in the world.

I'm a good boy and do my pottying outside, and happily go into my crate when needed. I even sleep in my crate at night and don't make a single peep until you wake me up in the morning! I'll keep you laughing during the day, taking naps between my silly sessions. I also love meeting new people, so I could go on adventures with you. And if you have a little backpack, you could carry me around so I don't slow you down! I'm looking for a forever home that will understand that I'm getting older now, and unexpected, sudden movements aren't my fortè anymore. I'd like a calm, relaxing, quiet home and family that will love me for all of the rest of my forever!
