Pinto is a hilarious little bean loves to snuggle into the tightest spots that she can find next to / on top of her people. She will track down every warm spot in the house and claim it as her own. She's also a total overachiever when it comes to training. She's food motivated with laser focus, and she loves showing off just how smart she is.Pinto loves to connect with the people she's with, and the best way to do that seems to be some type of training, even if done kind of passively. Cuddling with Pinto is the best and almost feels like a little reward for being able to help her relax. She does everything with gusto - from playing to training to cuddling.

Pinto's right front leg has a slight angular deformity and she can occasionally limp as a result. Her adopter should continue to monitor this with their private vet, and consultation with an orthopedic surgeon is recommended for discussion of possible treatment options.

Pinto's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and she will make a great addition to her future home!

This pet has not been DNA tested, so we are unsure of their actual breed makeup, but these are the breeds we think they look like!
