pinky - rhode island

Pinky is an affectionate, beautiful Lab mix puppy who is ready for the loving forever home she so deeply deserves. Her rescue story began about two months ago when she was found sitting alone on the side of a road with a badly broken leg. What happened to her before that moment is unknown. When a kind stranger stopped to help, one of our fosters happened to drive by and she noticed what was going on. She knew the shelter was no place for an injured puppy.Pinky was scooped up and taken straight to the vet, where her leg was placed in a cast and she was prescribed several weeks of strict crate rest to heal. Fast forward to today, and this girl has healed beautifully! Her cast was removed (1/30), and after just two more weeks of limited activity (until 2/13), this girl will finally be able to run and play as her heart desires. Despite her injury and limited activity, Pinky’s sweet personality shines through. She adores belly rubs, enjoys chewing on bones, and playing with toys. She has had no accidents in her crate and is pretty much house trained! She rides very nicely in the car!Pinky has already shown incredible resilience and so much love. Now, all she needs is a family to cheer her on as she finishes healing and grows into the happy, playful companion she’s destined to be. Let’s find this precious girl the wonderful home she’s been waiting for.Name: PinkyBreed: Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull TerrierSex: FemaleAge: 5 monthsWeight: 28lbsSpayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.
