About Squinkle

Squinkle is an adorable little guy who was rescued along with his siblings from under an abandoned house when they were just 5-6 weeks old. At 7 weeks, he's thriving in his foster home and exploring his yard with curious determination. A quintessential lab mix, he loves mealtime and is already making strides at self potty training. His day revolves around eating, playing, and napping, and he’s ready to share those moments with a forever family. Ideal for someone in the DC/MD/NoVa area, Squinkle will happily accompany you on hikes, road trips, and cozy couch snuggles. He comes up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines but will need to be altered, as his new family will need to sign a contract to ensure this happens once he turns six months old. Families with children, cats, or dogs will find Squinkle to be a delightful fit. Because he’s still a puppy, potential adopters should be home most of the day to help him settle in. Ready to meet Squinkle? This little guy can’t wait to start his adventure with you!
