About Pancake

Pancake is 3.8 pounds of fearless love, showing a brave spirit and unwavering loyalty. Despite her tiny size, she has no fear and will follow her person wherever they go. Pancake's little chirp-like bark serves as her way of communicating, and she'll gladly engage you in conversation. She came to the shelter with a significant hernia, but after a successful fix, she’s thriving. At 4 years old, Pancake was surrendered by her owner but appears to have no trauma. She gets along well with the other dogs at Little Trooper Ranch and even interacts positively with goats and turkeys. While she can be a little demanding, that’s just her way of showing love. Pancake is a cuddler who adores sleeping in human beds, safely nestled under blankets. Given her small size, she requires extra consideration in her environment; she’s adept at fitting through fences or gates and has the potential to be a target for larger birds. Pancake bonds quickly with her people, and once she chooses you, she’ll be your loyal companion. Ready to meet this special little dog?
