Meet Tink. A small name with an impressive sense of self. Tink is a 15-pound Miniature Pinscher mix puppy (born around August 2025) who moves through the world like he's already read the room-and decided it's friendly. He's playful, curious, and confident in a quiet way, the kind that doesn't need to shout to be noticed. He enjoys independence in thoughtful doses. He'll investigate his surroundings, conduct a few important puppy inspections, and then-without fanfare-reappear exactly where the people are. Couch proximity is non-negotiable. Human company is the luxury upgrade. Tink is wonderfully easy to know. He does great with kids, other dogs, and new people, approaching everyone with a relaxed openness that feels refreshingly uncomplicated. He doesn't bulldoze his way into affection; he simply assumes you'll like him. He is correct. He's currently refining his outdoor potty skills and picking it up quickly, especially when encouragement and positive reinforcement are involved. He's observant, eager to please, and clearly paying attention-even when he pretends he's not. Tink strikes a rare balance. He's fun without chaos. Sweet without neediness. Affectionate without hovering. He's happy to join the action, just as happy to lounge nearby, and content to exist in the same space as his people-an underrated art he's already mastered. Tink isn't looking to take over your life. He's looking to settle neatly into it-and somehow improve it in the process. PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
