About Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a young Chihuahua who made her entrance into a home in Hopedale with what can only be described as a whimsical confidence. Initially shy around new faces, she takes her time to warm up, but once she feels comfortable, her loyalty knows no bounds. This delightful girl is the quintessential lap dog, always ready to take a cozy spot on your lap for hours of affection. If you find yourself needing to move, don’t worry; just tuck her under one arm, and she’ll happily tag along like the little princess she believes she is. Her charming personality doesn’t stop there. Pumpkin dances for attention and treats, proving she’s not just adorable but also talented. Given her cleanliness in her kennel, it seems she has some house training mastered. She’s not fazed when other dogs come by her space, though a proper introduction with your pups is necessary. A note for potential adopters: she has shown some apprehension towards men, leading us to seek a female-only home for her.
