Meet Tinky! I’m a 7-pound Miniature Poodle who came into rescue as a blank slate with very little life experience. At first, people scared me—but as soon as they picked me up for snuggles, I melted like butter in their hands.

In just two days, I mastered going up and down stairs! Though I’m on the skinny side, I have a big-boy appetite and am gaining weight like a champ. After spending a couple of days with my small dog housemates, I came out of my shell and started playing—a lot! I love toys, other small dogs, and people. Nylabones are my favorite!

I’m still working on house training, but I’m eager to learn. I’d love to find a forever home with someone who will provide patient puppy training and lots of affection.

If you think we’d be a great match, fill out an application today—I’d love to meet you!
