About Pinky

Meet Pinky! This lively treeing walker coonhound mix is about 7 years old and came to us from a local shelter. Pinky is a spirited and active girl with an undeniable zest for life.

Having furry companions around her really helps. Her foster parent shares, "Pinky is the best companion. She is fully housetrained, well-mannered, and a true velcro dog; she follows you everywhere and never strays from your side. She loves other dogs and flourishes with their company. Pinky is a fantastic car rider, enjoys walks and hikes, and is a 10/10 snuggler. She's amazing!" We promised Pinky that the rest of her life would be the best of her life.
