My story

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

Adoption fee covered by Tim Ivens Real Estate & Development.

Pinky is the cutest little chunky shar-pei mix around. He is a male and weighs 59 pounds. His estimated birthday is May 2022. Beautiful tan coat and a real couch potato. Who's a good boy? This guy!

More details from Pinky’s temporary foster:
Meet the sweetest most calm pup in the shelter! Pinky is seeking a family that wants endless love and just wants to hang out and chill. He loves car rides and snuggling in blankets. Pinky will steal your chair and your heart! He listens well and loves to please. He is a bit of a snoop and very curious so it is best to puppy proof until he knows his boundaries. He likes to be close and will come back in from a trek outside with ease. He is curious and likes finding treasures on walks so it’s best to keep a close eye on what is in your path otherwise he may find a treasure that you consider junk. He is proud of his good finds but will relinquish them quite easily. He has been on Zyrtec and takes the pill easily inside cheese. He is housetrained but is quiet so may need a little extra attention and frequent potty breaks until you understand his way of communication. He is very grateful for food offerings but is very polite and does not beg. He shows little interest in toys but likes to bury them. He has bloodied his nose in the process so it would be best to put them away until playtime. Pinky also enjoys meeting new people but approaches them with caution. He is very gentle and sweet. His recent temporary foster Janine said she has never encountered a gentler pup!
