Meet Pumpkin, a young dog with a heart full of sweetness. Her gentle spirit shines through her timid demeanor, and her curiosity about the world around her is palpable. Pumpkin is alert, yet skittish, her ears perking up at the slightest sound. Her insecurities can make her appear nervous and submissive. But don`t be fooled, this shy canine has a lot to offer. She weighs 43 pounds, and her curiosity makes her an excellent companion for exploring the neighborhood because she walks well on a leash once she overcomes her fear of being out in the big scary world. We don`t know yet if she is house trained. She was well-behaved around her finder`s children and six dogs but her timidity is leading us to require that children in the home be at least nine years old to avoid scaring her. She knows the sit and come commands. Her favorite activities are fetch, running, tugging, toys, and wrestling. She loves to be up high and will climb on anything as often as she gets the chance. Pumpkin`s gentle and submissive nature makes her the perfect pet for a calm, patient owner who can provide a loving, reassuring environment. Pumpkin`s a bit of a jumper and a beggar too, her sweet eyes pleading for a game or a treat. And yes, she chews, but with the right toys and guidance, she`ll learn what`s okay to gnaw on. She is a bit wary of men, women, children, and strangers, but with patience and love she`ll learn to trust. With time, Pumpkin will blossom into a confident, devoted companion. Adopt Pumpkin and give her the chance to fill your life with her sweet, gentle love. (tw 12/5/2024)
