Say hello to Twinkie!

"Twinkie-dink" is a spunky, playful 25 lb. Velcro puppy who will probably be about 40-45 lbs. when she hits adulthood. Twinkie was rescued from a local shelter.

She has beautiful markings... Twinkie looks like she hasn't made up her left eye yet ... and a cute little right turn in her tail, probably that way from birth. Her folded ears are perfect and give her an adorable curious expression. She gets along great with bigger and smaller dogs. She has probably never seen a cat but is curious about squirrels and birds. Her best foster buddy doesn't bark much and neither does Twinkie, unless she doesn't know where you are--but her self-confidence is growing every day.

As a puppy, she is a smart one; she is doing well for her age at sit and stay. She uses a slow feeder which is highly recommended. She likes her milk bones and a baby carrot every day or two. Twinkie will sleep in her kennel all night as long as it's in her people's bedroom. Favorite toys so far are squeaky tennis balls, chew bones and tug ropes. Though not a fan of leashes, with some work she will get there.

This girl has been working diligently on her housebreaking. She seems to be about 98% there!! In a new environment, she will need to be closely monitored, and her indoor area restricted for a week or two. While in her laundry/bedroom, she goes out the pet door to take care of business, without much prompting. She is going to be a great companion dog as long as she gets a loving, patient home.

Twinkie is crate-trained.

She is spayed, current on appropriate vaccines, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $250.
