About Tinker Cooter

Tinker Cooter consists of a loving duo: Tinker, a sweet female Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, and her son, Cooter Brown, who both need a loving forever home. Tinker is about 5 to 6 years old and has a protective instinct towards her son, while Cooter, around 3 to 4 years old, is a spirited little guy who thrives on attention. Together, they are up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, spayed, neutered, and microchipped. Tinker is house-trained and knows how to use a pet door; she sleeps comfortably in a kennel when needed. They both enjoy lounging on the couch with their humans and love being outdoors, where they can run in the grass and bask in the sunlight. Ideally, this affectionate pair should be adopted together into a home with a backyard and preferably no other dogs, though they can be okay with other dogs. They haven’t been around small children, so it’s uncertain how they would react to little ones.
