About Pumpkin

Meet Pumpkin! This playful 6-month-old chihuahua mix is full of curiosity and energy. Though she can be a bit shy with new faces and experiences, she warms up quickly and gains confidence in no time. Pumpkin loves the company of other small dogs, so a home with a playful companion would be ideal for her. Her boundless joy shines through as she bounces around, spreading smiles with her constant affection and little kisses. While she does well in her kennel during meal times and when left alone for short periods, she's still fine-tuning her potty training skills. Luckily, she's highly motivated by treats, so she's making steady progress. Although she's not a fan of being carried around like a purse dog, she enjoys following her foster family around the house, always nearby and happily gnawing on chew toys or yak cheese. Pumpkin is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Her previous experiences have made her protective of her space, especially when it comes to guarding the porch from squirrels and delivery people, though she isn’t an excessive barker.
