She’s searching for a patient and understanding family to help her blossom into the confident young dog she’s destined to become. Previously a stray, Pumpkin had spent weeks feeling unsure around people before Animal Control finally caught her.

She often sneaks up to people when they aren't looking and has begun to engage more with everyone around her. Pumpkin thrives when she’s around other dogs, so having a confident canine companion in her forever home is essential. She looks to them for guidance and reassurance as she continues to gain her confidence. A securely fenced yard is also crucial to keep her safe while she explores and learns. Her ideal family is one that can offer her time, patience, and encouragement to meet new people and experiences. Although she may not rush to greet every stranger immediately, she has been revealing more of her sweet personality each day with the right support. Pumpkin is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and microchipped. Now she just needs someone to help unveil the special girl hiding behind her initial shyness.
