About Twinkle

Meet Twinkle, one of Tonya's loving puppies! Tonya was rescued from outside an abandoned home in Browning, where she cared for her newborns. Initially, we thought there were five babies; to our surprise, we found ten thriving little Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog mix pups. These little adventurers, just 7 weeks old, are lively and affectionate. They have been lovingly fostered and received initial vaccinations, worming treatments, and come with a microchip. Twinkle and her siblings are all looking for forever homes under a foster-to-adopt arrangement, meaning adopters will need to complete their spay or neuter surgeries. We provide a $50 voucher for these procedures, and a $150 check will be collected as a guarantee until the surgery is done, following Montana law. With an adoption fee of $300, you'll gain a healthy, adorable puppy who is sure to be a wonderful addition to your family. Twinkle gets along well with dogs, cats, and children.
