About Tinker

Tinker is a small dog with a big personality and even bigger energy. Just 16 pounds, he can fool you in photos, but in real life, he's all about zoomies and confidence. He’s a year old, still navigating the world with youthful enthusiasm and a touch of puppy impulsiveness. He walks nicely on leash, does well in his crate, and is potty trained if kept on a schedule. What really makes him happiest, though, is the company of other dogs—preferably bigger, confident ones, ideally female. Tinker absolutely requires a home with a secure physical fence and another dog for companionship. He likes tossing his toys in the air and showing off just how fast he can run after them. Tinker will do best in a home that knows a thing or two about spirited small breeds—someone ready to focus on his training and help shape his already outgoing character. He gets along with dogs and is a good fit for homes with older, considerate kids. If you enjoy big-dog antics in a compact package, Tinker’s your guy. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
