Story

Meet Twinkie Toz 💛Twinkie Toz is a 6-year-old Beagle mix with soulful eyes and a gentle spirit. Weighing 29 pounds, she’s the perfect medium-sized companion ready to fill a home with quiet love.This sweet girl was found as a stray and, sadly, was never reclaimed. While we don’t know much about her past, we do know she deserves a bright and secure future. Twinkie Toz is still showing us her personality, and as we learn more about her, we’ll continue to see her blossom.At this time, we’re unsure how she does with other animals or children, and we don’t know if she is house or crate trained. Because of that, a patient family willing to guide her and provide structure as she settles in would be ideal. With consistency and kindness, most dogs adjust beautifully to home life.The great news? Twinkie Toz is heartworm negative, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped — she’s healthy and ready to start her next chapter.If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a second chance, Twinkie Toz may be the perfect match for you. 🐾Twinkie Toz's Adoption Fee is $28 plus tax. She is POTW and is partially sponsored by PAWS IN LYON COUNTYDogs are $115 and puppies are $110 unless otherwise noted. All cats and kittens are $75.00 unless otherwise noted.
