About Slinky

Meet Slinky! Slinky is the definition of “small but mighty”—a six-month-old pup with a big heart wrapped up in the cutest little sausage body. Stumpy legs, oversized paws, and those soft blonde whiskers...he’s impossible not to fall for. But Slinky’s story hasn’t been all sunshine. Somewhere along the way in his six short months, someone wasn’t very kind to him, and it shows in his gentle, cautious nature—especially around men. He warms up quickly to women and, with a little patience (and maybe a few cheese bribes 🧀), he’ll learn that not all humans are scary. And once you’re in his circle? That’s when the magic happens. Slinky blossoms into the sweetest, snuggliest, silliest little companion. He loves to play, loves to cuddle, and will happily stick by your side like your tiny shadow. He’s doing great in his crate and is making steady progress with potty training—he just needs someone willing to continue guiding him with kindness and consistency. He originally came into the rescue when a volunteer saw someone giving him away for free and didn’t want him to end up in the wrong hands. We promised her we’d find Slinky the loving home he’s always deserved! Slinky isn’t just looking for a home—he’s looking for someone who will show him the love he’s always deserved. And in return, you’ll get a loyal, goofy, heart-melting best friend. *Estimated 6 months old *12 lbs *UTD on vaccinations *Neutered *Microchipped *Would due best in adult home or home with older kids due to quick movements and noises making him nervous *Not yet dog or cat tested but do not anticipate issues with slow intros
