About Twinkle

Meet Twinkle, a charming mixed breed who thrives in foster care in Houston, Texas. This sweet girl, born on October 15, 2025, is around 40 pounds of pure joy. With her friendly nature, she gets along wonderfully with both her canine companions and humans, enjoying playtime in the yard as much as cozy naps on the covered patio. Twinkle has completed a board and train program with a fantastic trainer, which has prepared her for outdoor adventures. Daily hikes on the ranch are her favorite activity. Twinkle appears to be well house trained and requires a fully fenced and secure yard. She is not suited for apartment living and is looking for an active person who can take her on long walks or hikes. Whether as an only dog or with a companion, she’s ready to be your loyal sidekick. For adoption, she is best placed with experienced dog owners and in homes without children under the age of 8. Twinkle is already spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.
