About Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a 4.5-year-old spayed female pit bull mix with a short black, brown, and cream coat. She lights up at the sight of her favorite people, showing boundless excitement and zoomies, especially when a beloved stuffed toy is involved. This is a deeply affectionate dog who thrives on human companionship and has endless love to share. Despite her joyful spirit, Pumpkin is an anxious soul and has a hard time in situations that make her uncomfortable—she’s vocal when scared. She needs a calm, steady home and benefits from predictability due to her tumultuous past. Pumpkin gets along well with cats and would fit well with a calm dog companion. Kids in the home should be 14 or older, and she’ll want to meet everyone in the household first. She’s not yet house trained, so patience and understanding are a must for her adopter. Fun fact: Born on October 18, Pumpkin is a Libra, which might explain her longing for harmony and affection. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
