PINKY - RAT TERRIER / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 450. Pinky is from Texas. She was found wandering the streets there and brought into rescue after her stray hold was up. Pinky was a skinny, scared little pup with some skin issues when she was found, but has been given proper nutrition and veterinary care while in rescue and has absolutely flourished! Now it is time to find her a home of her very own here in Minnesota! A little about sweet Pinky...she is completely potty-trained (pad trained- going outside is still a work in progress) and crate-trained. But if we're being completely honest, her crate is her absolute least favorite place in the world...haha! This little peanut is just a little ball of energy that wants to play, play, play! And, let's face it, that's not going to happen in her crate! She does need to be crated when left alone, however, more to save her from herself than anything else. Outside (or inside...she's not picky!) playtime is the absolute highlight of her day! She loves playing with toys and her little doggie foster siblings. Pinky has been adjusting to Minnesota weather, and figuring out this snow business! She immediately warmed up to her foster mom and dad. We are still working on some potty stuff (the snow isn't helping!) but overall doing good! She is working on her crate time and does well with it covered. She may do well in a home with a confident cat, who does not run when chased. She can be a bit bossy and pushy, in typical Chihuahua fashion, and loves to hide her "treasured" possessions in an adorable way! She enjoys snuggle time, and sleeps hard once she is all tucked in and comfortable! She is a very busy, happy gal. Pinky is looking for a family that is willing to take her on daily walks, so she can sniff and explore her new surroundings. She would also love a home that lets her up on the furniture because let's be honest...what's better than puppy snuggles while you watch TV? Absolutely nothing! Pinky is a young pup with lots of energy looking for a patient, playful, and loving family to live out all of her days with. She does like to sing the song of her people, so places with shared walls may not be the best fit. If you think you might be the one to give this sweet little girl the happily ever after she so justly deserves, please fill out an adoption application today! She can't wait to meet you!
