About Punkin

Meet Punkin! Punkin and her three sisters had a challenging start, found abandoned in a plastic milk crate when they were just 8 weeks old. Hungry, tired, and in need of care, their fortunes changed when they were rescued. Now thriving in a loving foster home, Punkin is the tiniest of the litter but full of sweetness and affection for her humans. At approximately 10 weeks old, Punkin is ready to find her forever home. She is spayed, vaccinated, and eager to join a loving family. Local Orange County adoptions are encouraged since she still needs her shots and spay at our local vet. Great news: Punkin gets along well with both dogs and children! Don't miss the chance to welcome this delightful pup into your life. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
