About Punkin

Punkin is a delightful blend of playful puppy energy and cozy cuddles. She loves to play and knows the importance of a good nap, proving to be a true professional napper.

She’s made great strides in overcoming shyness with new sights and sounds, and each day she gains more confidence with careful exposure and encouragement. Punkin does well in her crate, often enjoying soothing music or Dogtv to help her relax. She's a fan of the outdoors, particularly when she’s outside enjoying time with her foster family and other dogs. Notably polite, she was unbothered during her introduction to chickens, showing no interest in chasing them. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
