punky

It’s hard to believe something as simple as jumping off a sofa could change a tiny dog’s life forever. For Punky, it did—but it didn’t take away her gentle, loving spirit.

After breaking her legs from jumping off a sofa, Punky underwent orthopedic surgery and spent her recovery being absolutely spoiled by the incredible staff at Hulin Veterinary Hospital - thank you for taking such incredible care of her! Leo's Helping Paws also provided a substantial donation to help cover her orthopedic surgery costs. This little girl has already touched so many lives and has had so many people standing behind her.

Today, she has metal rods and screws supporting her tiny, delicate bones, and she’s doing beautifully. You would never know it - she walks with incredible grace.

Punky is a gentle, slightly timid girl who is happiest when she’s close to her people. She loves being held, curling up in your lap, and soaking up all the affection you’ll give her. 

Outside, she’s curious and enjoys exploring, but she’s never one to wander far. She prefers to stay close, checking in often and enjoying the world by your side.

She gets along well with other dogs and especially seems to enjoy canine companions her own size. She has also done well around much, much larger dogs who are respectful of her tiny, delicate body.

Punky is doing well with crate training, and her potty training is progressing nicely with consistency and patience.

Because of her tiny size, delicate bone structure, and naturally cautious personality, Punky is looking for a home without young children where she can feel safe and thrive. 

If you’re looking for a sweet little companion who will happily curl up in your lap, follow you around the yard, and remind you that resilience can come in the tiniest packages, Punky is ready to meet you.

Punky is fostered in Reading (Berks County), Pennsylvania and will be able to head home with an incredibly lucky family on or after 7/25/2026.
