Meet Perfect Pumpkin! This sweet girl is ready to fill your home with love and joy! Pumpkin is a smart, sweet, house-trained pup who adores people and gets along well with other dogs. She’s affectionate without being clingy—a perfect balance!
Pumpkin’s Stats:
    •    Age: Estimated to be 3 years old
    •    Weight: 45-50 lbs
    •    Spayed: Yes
Why You'll Love Pumpkin:
- Sweet & Gentle: She takes treats very gently and always has a wagging tail.
- Smart Cookie: She loves learning and would thrive with fun enrichment activities.
- Eager to Please: She’s always looking to you for guidance and is happiest when she knows she’s making you smile.
- Adventure Buddy: She hops right into the car and enjoys rides—perfect for road trips!
- House-Trained Pro: She quickly learned her potty routine and can hold it overnight and for several hours during the day.
When You’re Away:
    •    She might be a little sad when you leave, but she settles down quickly and is calm until you’re back.
    •    No separation anxiety and zero destructive behavior—she’s a perfect angel!
Pumpkin & Friends:
- Kids: Possibly good with kids! She’s calm, gentle, and loves attention.

- Dogs: She gets along with medium and large dogs and has done well with our 25 lb pup. She hasn’t met smaller dogs.

- Cats: Unsure about cats; she’s pretty excited when she sees our cats through the baby gate. A slow introduction and plan to keep them safely separated at first is key if you have feline friends.

A Few Things to Work On:
    •    She pulls a little on walks but does much better with a harness.
    •    When excited, she bounces happily (but not on people). We’re working on it, and she’s improving every day!
    •    Bikes can make her a bit nervous on walks, but she’s learning they’re not so scary.

Ready to Fall in Love?
Pumpkin would be happy in a home with a yard or even an apartment if she gets plenty of walks and enrichment. She’s eager to meet her forever family and share a lifetime of snuggles, adventures, and unconditional love.

$250 adoption donation includes spay, rabies, dhpp, bordatella and microchipped

Interested in adopting?
1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application
2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call!
3. If it sounds like a potential match for you and the dog of interest, we will promptly set up a meet and greet at the foster home

Please note we are a foster-based rescue meaning our dogs are in individual foster homes throughout sac and the bay. For this reason we may only be able to schedule meets for one dog at a time (or litter). The average timeline between app submission and a meet and greet is 3-5 days. Please only submit an application for a specific dog if you are ready to adopt that animal within a week's time.
