My story

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

Meet Pumpkin — Our Special Needs Pup Looking for His Forever Home!

Pumpkin is a 1 1/2 -year-old neutered Chihuahua mix with the most adorable, sweet eyes that will melt your heart.

What makes Pumpkin so special?
Pumpkin has neurologic issues that cause head tremors and some difficulty walking. Our team believes these changes may have resulted from a past infection. He’s not infectious, but these neurologic effects will likely be lifelong.

Despite his challenges, Pumpkin doesn’t let anything slow him down! He enjoys life, loves the company of other dogs, and has so much love to give.

Pumpkin is currently thriving in a foster home, but he’s ready to find his forever family—someone who will see beyond his special needs and love him for the joyful pup he is.

If you’d like to meet Pumpkin or learn more about his needs, please email us at ?? sbcassouthfostercoordinator@gmail.com
.

Let’s help Pumpkin find the loving home he deserves!
