Meet Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart.
This beautiful young girl may be a little shy when meeting new people, but underneath that timid start is a sweet, loving companion just waiting to feel safe. Give her a little patience, a gentle walk, and maybe a few tasty treats, and you’ll quickly see her warm up and let her personality shine.
Once she trusts you, Tinkerbell becomes incredibly affectionate and loyal. She’s very treat-motivated, which makes bonding with her fun and rewarding — and she’s eager to continue learning with someone who will guide her with kindness and consistency.
Tinkerbell previously lived successfully with another dog and a cat, and did well with both. She would likely thrive in a calm, loving home that can help continue building her confidence.

She’s still working on house training, but she has already shown that with routine and regular potty breaks, she does very well. Like many young dogs adjusting to change, she just needs patience and consistency to keep succeeding.
Tinkerbell came to the shelter alongside her brother Leo, and while this transition has been a big adjustment for her, she’s already showing us how much love she has to give.
If you’re looking for a dog who will blossom into an incredibly devoted best friend, Tinkerbell may be the perfect match for you.
