My name is
Pumpkin Pie!

Meet Pumpkin Pie, a pup as sweet as her name! This little darling is already amazing, with all the potential to become the perfect companion. Though she’s still very much a puppy, she’s eager to learn and grow with a loving home ready to continue her training.

We suspect Pumpkin Pie has faced some rough times in her past, as she occasionally winces when a leg is lifted near her or when someone reaches down to pet her. The family who found her started her on anxiety medication, but we’re carefully weaning her off as she blossoms with care and patience.

Pumpkin Pie is the perfect mid-sized pup—a “mini-lab” lookalike with a squishy face, floppy ears, and warm, soulful brown eyes that’ll melt your heart. She has a playful side that’s impossible to resist! Whether she’s carrying around her blankie, chomping on chew toys, squeaking her favorites, or engaging in an energetic game of tug-of-war, her zest for life shines. One of her most endearing quirks? She loves to playfully stalk and pounce like a cat! When she’s scenting, her adorable snuffling noises will make you grin, even as she clumsily tumbles into her next adventure.

She’s a water baby at heart and can’t resist the temptation of a full bathtub—so don’t be surprised if she tries to join you for a splash! Pumpkin Pie is working on gentle play and reducing nipping, but with her enthusiasm and your guidance, she’s sure to thrive.

This little bundle of joy is ready to bring her unique charm to a home filled with love and understanding. Could you be the one to give her the happy ending she deserves?
