About Twinkle

Twinkle is a delightful girl currently in foster care in Houston, Texas. Born on October 15, 2025, she has a friendly demeanor and loves both her canine friends and humans. This mixed breed, with her beautiful markings, enjoys playing in the yard and napping on the covered patio. She's completed a board and train program and is eager for daily hikes and outdoor adventures. Twinkle is house trained and will thrive in a secure, fully fenced yard; she’s not suited to apartment living. An active owner who can take her on long walks or hikes would be the perfect match. While she can be an only dog, she gets along well with other dogs too. An adoption fee of $300 applies, and Twinkle needs an experienced dog owner, as she is not suited for homes with children under 8 years old. All vaccinations are up to date, including spaying, microchipping, and monthly preventatives for heartworms and other parasites. Ready to make Twinkle a part of your family? Apply today!
