Pumpkin is a 7-year-old female Chihuahua, small in size and a lovely fawn color. She is up to date on vaccinations and looking for a new home in Jackson, MO. Although she may need a little extra time to adjust, Pumpkin is full of potential and deserves a loving family to help her see that.

About Pumpkin

Meet Pumpkin, a sweet little lady searching for her forever home. At seven years old and a tiny Chihuahua, she carries a fawn-colored coat and a gentle spirit. Pumpkin came to the rescue after losing her owner, and she’s now on the lookout for a safe haven where she can feel at ease. Though friendly, Pumpkin can be a bit shy at first and will need a patient adopter who allows her to adjust gradually. Once she feels comfortable, her true personality shines through. While she has a bond with Kale, one of her companions from the rescue, she tends to be selective with other dogs and exhibits some food aggression. For this reason, a home without small children is essential, and she would thrive best in a calm, predictable environment. Pumpkin’s ideal situation includes a nurturing person who understands her needs, especially around meals, and who can provide her with the stability she deserves. After all, she’s ready to start a new chapter filled with love and understanding. Could you be the one to help her feel loved again? Apply to adopt today!
