Meet Tork 🐾
17-week-old brown & white Pit Bull & Shar Pei mix | Professional Wrinkle Technician | Part-Time Carpet Zoom Specialist

Say hello to Tork, a 17-week-old puppy who is equal parts adorable, squishy, and “how did you get up there?”

Tork is currently in his early development stage of life, which mostly involves learning how legs work, forgetting immediately, then trying again with great confidence.

🏡 Ideal Home:

Tork would thrive in a home that enjoys:

Puppy antics with a side of laughter
Training sessions that turn into comedy shows
A dog who is equal parts snuggle bug and tiny disaster gremlin
💕 Adoption Bonus:

Adopting Tork means gaining:

A squishy little shadow who will grow into your best friend
A daily source of laughter and unexpected chaos
A lifelong reminder that love sometimes comes with teeth marks and zoomies

If your home is ready for puppy mischief, endless affection, and a very determined little face that believes he is already in charge—Tork is packed (emotionally) and ready to move in immediately.
