About Tink

Tink is a spunky spayed female who weighs around 38 lbs and is about 6 years old. With a little gray around her muzzle, she might look like a seasoned companion, but Tink is full of energy and love. As a petite and loyal friend, she enjoys keeping her people close by and will often follow them to see what they’re up to. Tink has the instincts of a little watchdog, capable of voicing her opinion when strangers approach. Once you pass her initial inspection, she quickly warms up to new friends—especially if treats are involved. A good leash walker, Tink loves exploring her surroundings. While she can entertain herself with toys, her greatest joy comes from being around her favorite humans. She knows how to sit and has a discerning taste when it comes to snacks; your typical dog treat may not impress her! After spending over 90 days in the shelter, Tink will need some patience and understanding to adjust to a home environment. Tink may do well with another dog after the required decompression and proper introductions. She’s got plenty of love and personality to share, so if you’re looking for a companion to give a fresh start, Tink could be the perfect fit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
