Introducing Pinkerton, the absolute sweetest, most loving boy you could ever meet! Imagine a cuddle buddy who just oozes affection, and you'll picture this delightful pup. At 11 years young and weighing in at 47 lbs (but on his way down to a healthier 30 lbs!), Pinkerton is a heartwarming presence that will fill your home with joy. ❤️ This charming fellow thrives in a kind-hearted, senior-loving household, ideally a charming, single-story haven where he won't have to manage stairs to follow you around or step outside. He’s been deeply loved all his life, and trust me, he’ll return that love a hundredfold! Pinkerton craves attention and is a master at cherishing moments with you; just picture him gazing up at you with those big beautiful eyes while you shower him with pets—it's an experience that’ll melt your heart! Now, let’s talk about how adaptable our lovely Pinkerton is! He’s done well with other dogs in his foster home and has past experience living with a Shih-Tzu. So, he’s definitely a social butterfly amongst four-legged friends! As far as cats go, we don’t know, but hey, every hero has an arc—let’s leave that one as a mystery for now! 😺 Pinkerton's perfect home would ideally be one without young kids or where older children understand how to engage gently with this lovable guy. Remember, he’s a gentleman who appreciates his space when it comes to interactions, especially due to some pain and stiffness from being a bit heavier than he'd like. But fear not! With your love and care, he’ll embrace his new weight goal and be ready to strut with pride! Pinkerton is crate-trained for car rides and often feels cozy with his fluffy mat to help him up and down. He’s housetrained, enjoys short, leisurely walks as he gets stronger, and, surprisingly enough, is quite the quiet boy for a Sheltie! The only time you might hear his lovely voice is when it’s food time—don’t we all get a bit excited about that? 🍽️ Now is the time for Pinkerton to shine in a home that supports him in his journey to better health. He’s ready to fill your life with joyous moments, and with love, we believe he can reclaim his mobility and enjoy leisurely strolls with you. Just picture Pinkerton by your side, basking in the love and warmth of a truly special companionship! If you are smitten by the thought of adding this adoring pup to your family, it's crucial to apply through the Buddy App! Remember, Pinkerton is searching for a loving home right here in the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota—let’s bring him the forever home he deserves! 🏠❤️
