d siblings arrived to PAWS as a litter of 7, and have been learning the ropes ever since. Plankton is currently living in foster care with her sister Pearl, and they are both equal parts snuggly and spunky!
Plankton loves soaking up the spotlight whenever she has the chance—especially when it comes with ear scratches and belly rubs. Around other dogs, she might play it cool at first, but once she gets the green light from Pearl (who is slightly more brave right now), she dives in tail-first with a tidal wave of confidence and energy! Plankton seems like she would love to continue living with another dog in her forever home, and would make an excellent canine companion to anyone looking for their next best friend.
Plankton’s favorite hobbies include; charming humans with her puppy eyes, playing with her doggy pals, and turning cuddle time into a contact sport (spoiler alert: she wins). She also loves being carried down stairs like the royalty she is, and if there’s a nap to be had, she’s all in!
This smart girl already knows how to sit for her meals and often listens to the “sit” command even without treats (though she’ll never say no to a snack). She's still working on house training, but she’s a potty pad pro and making great strides each day! And she’s even starting to explore the great outdoors on her “big girl” walks—watch out, world!
So if you’re ready to trade a life of boring for a boatload of adorable, adopt Plankton and rescue her from the Chum Bucket life—she’s ready to join your Krusty Krew. You can also follow along for more of Pearl's and & Plankton's adventures on Instagram, phillyfostermama!
