My name is Pumpkin!

Hi all, I’m Pumpkin! I’m a 2-year-old pup with a heart even bigger than my big ol’ noggin! I’m a classic Velcro Dog, and my number one goal in life is to be wherever my people are. I’m happy to follow you out into the yard for a game of Catch (we’re working on Fetch), and you will absolutely adore my butt-scoot zoomies—where my back end tries to outrun my front! Just as easily, I’ll happily curl up with my person for a lazy afternoon. I make an excellent work-from-home buddy and am a big fan of couch time.

I can be a little wary of strangers at first, and I’ll let you know it with a bark that *sounds* very serious—but don’t be fooled. With a little time, patience, and love, you’ll discover that under my big, scary-sounding facade is a sensitive sweetheart who just wants to feel safe and loved.

I need to be the **ONLY pet** in your home, but let’s be real: I’m a princess who wants and deserves all of your attention. I’d do great with a yard to get my occasional zoomies out, but since I’m a diva, I’m not interested in dog parks or hanging out with other dogs. I also might bowl over smaller people in my enthusiasm, so a home with older children would be better than one with toddlers.

I’m a smart girl who takes direction and correction well, learns quickly, and is eager to please. You’ll soon recognize my signature wrinkled forehead paired with the classic “Am I a good dog?” look. And if my other signature expression is Resting Judgy Face, it’s only because every minute you’re taking pictures of me could also be spent giving me cuddles.

Take me home today, and you’ll have a best friend for life. Currently, I am available for adoption. If you’re interested in meeting me, please fill out an application or call the Humane Society of Forsyth County at 770-887-6480. Adoption hours are Tuesday–Thursday 11–5 and Friday & Saturday 1–5.

All my love and endless tail wags, Pumpkin.
