and occasionally leave you wondering, “What exactly is she doing now?”
Then meet Pinky!
Pinky is a 3-month-old terrier mix weighing approximately 12 pounds. She is currently fostered with SIX other dogs, and this goofy little girl thinks every single one of them is a potential best friend, wrestling partner, or contestant in a very serious game of chase.
She is your typical happy-go-lucky terrier: active, playful, curious, and always ready to see what everyone else is doing. Got a toy? She wants it. Chewing on a bone? She approves. Running around the yard? SHE'S COMING TOO. Sitting quietly and doing absolutely nothing? ...Let's not get carried away.
But don't worry—once Pinky gets some of that terrier energy out, she does have an off switch! She loves a good cuddle and is more than happy to settle in with her people after a successful day of puppy shenanigans.
Pinky has a great temperament and gets along wonderfully with her six canine foster siblings. She has met cats as well and did fine, and at just 3 months old, she is the perfect age to continue learning how to live with kitty friends.
Here’s what Pinky brings to the table:
3 months old and approximately 10 pounds
Fostered with SIX dogs and loves her canine friends
Typical goofy, active, happy terrier personality
Loves playing, chasing, and generally being involved in EVERYTHING
Great at entertaining herself with toys and bones
Loves people and has a sweet, affectionate side
Has met cats and is at a great age to learn to live with them
Can get a little mouthy when she's super excited—but this is playful puppy behavior, never aggressive, and she doesn't bite down
Still learning leash skills but is a smart girl who should catch on quickly
Sleeps in a pen with an attached crate
May protest briefly when she first goes into her crate or pen, especially if she knows you're nearby, because obviously she believes she should be wherever YOU are
Settles in once she realizes the protest isn't changing management's decision
House and crate training are coming along, but she is still a puppy and accidents can happen if her humans don't catch her in time
Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventatives
Pinky is not a puppy who plans to sit around and watch life happen. She wants to PLAY, explore, investigate, chase, chew, cuddle, and then wake up tomorrow and do it all over again.
She's goofy. She's fun. She's active. She's sweet. And she has enough personality packed into her little body to keep her future family laughing for years to come.
If you're ready for a little terrier tornado with a heart of gold and an excellent sense of humor—well, Pinky is ready to report for duty!

We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers. Most of our dogs are rescued from high kill shelters in the South. If the dog is posted, they are still available! Once arriving, these dogs enter foster homes, as we do not have a shelter. We cannot adopt out dogs to a home with dogs that are not fixed or up to date on shots. If interested in adopting, please submit an application online at .pack9rescue. Our adoption fee for altered dogs is $350 and goes directly to saving the lives of more dogs. Our adoption fee for unaltered puppies will be $400 which includes a refundable $50 deposit upon receipt of spay/neuter certificate. Learn more about adopting from us or volunteering for us at .pack9rescue or check us out on Facebook for more information and a complete list of dogs available for adoption. .facebook/PaCaringForK9s/
