About Inky

Inky is in urgent need of a loving home. This sweet, mixed-breed dog is a bit nervous but friendly, having been surrendered by her owner who could no longer provide care. She weighs about 45 pounds and is around 5 years old. Inky has been diagnosed with cherry eye in her right eye and requires ongoing vet care. Although she is tolerant during check-ups, she may not allow for further diagnostics or treatments easily. To help her settle in, slow introductions to new people and environments are essential. Inky thrives best in adult-only homes where she can feel secure and have the freedom to approach when she's ready for affection. If you’re looking for a companion who needs a little extra patience and love, Inky may be the perfect match for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
