My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Found on a freezing night at the beginning of 2025, this tiny survivor has had quite the journey. Just days after rescue, she broke her leg - likely from being malnourished, as it happened during a playful jump. Her amazing foster family has spent months nursing her back to health and helping her transform her into a lovable, snuggly, wildly clever family pup.

About Punky:

  • Personality: Smart, energetic, loyal, and hilariously quirky

  • Good With:
    • Dogs – loves them!
    • Kids – great, just a little rough when she’s extra playful
    • Cats – she LOVES them; they don’t always love her enthusiasm

  • Bonus Feature: Will chase away mice, raccoons, and any other unwanted home invaders

She’d make an incredible mountain biking partner, running buddy, or hunting/working companion - anything active where she can put her brain and energy to good use!

Note:

She has come a long way, but she’s still a bit of a work-in-progress. Her ideal adopter will have patience, a sense of humor, and time to continue her training. She aims to please and learns fast - especially when snacks are involved.
