About Punky

Punky is a 4-year-old Mastiff/Boxer mix with a pale brown short coat, big white bib, white paws, and a face that's hard to forget—dark eyes ringed in black and those semi-erect ears that perk up when she sees her people. Her previous family raised her from a puppy, so she soaks up attention and shows real affection with people, including older children. Stuffed toys and a spot on the couch are her idea of happiness. When scared, Punky's reflex is to snuggle close or find a bed to curl up in with you. Despite her substantial build, Punky tops out at around 68 lbs and doesn’t feel oversized in person. She never got along well with other dogs or cats, so she’s looking for a home where she can be the sole animal. She’s friendly with older kids but not a fit for homes with infants, after some anxiety issues in a foster home with a baby. Punky is house trained but still improving, and she’ll need someone patient with her separation anxiety when left alone. Vaccinations and spay are all handled—you’re starting with a blank slate, ready for a loyal companion whose greatest wish is to share your space. Ready to fall in love?
