Story
Pinkey is an 8 years 4 month old Maltese mix weighing 15 pounds. She came to the shelter as a stray so her history is unknown, she was most recently adopted and returned after 4 days and that's okay. We learned from those 4 days that she needs a slow intro to the home, especially if there is a dominant personality dog in the home, and that she can be very protective of her person. Pinkey is ready to try again! Pinkey was born to be pampered! This little lady prefers the finer things in life, like all the warm blankets to cuddle and burrow in! Pinkey likes everyone she meets and is affectionate. She does not show interest in toys here at the shelter. Is content to sit next to you and share your space.Housebroken but will have an accident or 2 while she learns your routine.Treat motivated-but on a weight loss journey. She does not like the cold! Tolerates baths-does not like her face messed and was sassy & mouthy with groomer. She's been to the veterinarian while in our care for her spay, dental (removing 3 teeth) and the removal of 4 cysts along her back. Mild cataracts in both eyes & gets goopy eyes. Shows interest in cats, wants to play with them, no prey drive. Separation anxiety-does not like to be alone. Has puppy energy. Good guard dog-alert to people and sounds-will bark. Good with other dogs, tolerates them not really interested in playing. Has resource guarding with food and treats. Pinkey does have 1 badder stone. At this time the veterinarian does not feel surgery is needed at this time. If more form or symptoms worsen surgery will be needed. A special diet of perscription Hills Science Diet C/D food will most likely be required for the rest of her life.Her adoption fee is $150, this includes her spay, heartworm test, vaccines current, deworming, heartworm/flea prevention and micro chipped.
