Twinkle is a spirited Labrador Retriever/Shepherd mix pulled from the San Bernardino Shelter after overcoming kennel cough. She greets everyone—kids and adults alike—with a unique enthusiasm, even waving hello with her front paws when spotting favorite volunteers. Don’t expect a couch companion; Twinkle is always ready to be on the move. Her energy level belies her age, eagerly choosing a jog over a stroll and always wanting to keep going when outdoors. She’s great on leash at a brisk pace, though she sometimes circles or pulls when slowed down. Water brings out her playful side—she’s known to dig and splash more than drink. Settling down isn’t easy for her, and with her strong prey drive, she needs to be the only pet in the household. On walks, she should be kept at a distance from other animals, making dog parks and beaches off-limits. But Twinkle’s zest and devotion make her an outstanding companion for an active person or family who enjoys spending time outdoors. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
