Tinkerbelle is a tiny spark of joy wrapped in silky white fur with hints of apricot. While her exact breed is unknown, she appears to be a mix of Poodle, Maltese, Havanese, or Coton de Tulear - a perfect blend of fluffy, fun, and adorable
She is spunky, playful, and full of happy energy, but she's also a total cuddle bug who loves being close to her people. She doesn't mind being dressed up, loves toys and bones, and gets along wonderfully with all people and all dogs.
Before coming into rescue, Tinkerbelle survived as a stray for several months and had to be humanely trapped. She arrived extremely matted, but after a shave (which she handled like a champ!), the most gorgeous, sweet little girl was revealed inside and out.
We do want to be completely transparent - Tinkerbelle is a digger and a bit of an escape artist. Because of this, she needs a very secure home and a "helicopter" dog parent who takes safety seriously. No sugarcoating here - she's worth the extra diligence!
The good stuff:
Crate trained
House trained
Listens well
Loves playtime, toys, and wrestling
Social, affectionate, and FUN
Tinkerbelle's future home has:
A solid, secure fenced yard
No children (open doors = opportunity!)
A young-ish, playful dog who wants a best friend to chase and wrestle
Fostered in Clearwater, FL
Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped & heartworm negative
Tinkerbelle is a special little survivor who just needs the right setup to thrive. If you're looking for a lively, loving companion and can provide a secure home, she may be your perfect match.
