About Pumpkin

Meet Pumpkin, the embodiment of fall with her wagging tail and love for belly rubs. At five and a half years old, this Shepherd mix is both sweet and silly, always ready for a good run or a splash in the water. Tennis balls and water toys are her favorites, but she knows how to switch gears and enjoy some quiet cuddle time as well. Pumpkin came to us after the loss of her owner but has embraced this new chapter with warmth and grace. Confident and affectionate, she thrives on human companionship and would love a family that keeps her close. She enjoys playing with larger, easygoing dogs and is suitable for an active household where she can get plenty of exercise. On top of that, she loves car rides, making her a great adventure buddy. While she’s good with kids, she might get a bit exuberant and could knock over little ones, so supervision is recommended. Pumpkin already knows how to sit and is learning to walk nicely on a leash. If you’re looking for a playful companion who is also a professional belly rub enthusiast, she’s your girl. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
