Story
Sweet Tinkerbell was rescued from an awful situation in Enoree, South Carolina. Her original owner unfortunately had a stroke and suddenly passed away.
Tinkerbell and another dog she had been living with (outdoors) were left with no food, water, or proper shelter. Thankfully, a neighbor noticed the dogs were living in absolute squalor and knew they needed help immediately.
Poor Tinkerbell was covered head to toe with fleas and ticks upon rescue and matted from head to toe. However, with the proper medicated bath regimen, a good haircut, proper nutrition plan, and a clean environment, Tinkerbell made a full 180 and turned into the beautiful dog she was meant to be.
Tinkerbell is about 4 years old and fully grown at about 30 pounds. Tinkerbell does well with children, other dogs, and cats.
She is a very loving and sweet girl who will make a wonderful family companion based on her easy-going attitude on life. Tinkerbell loves to go for leash walks, cuddle on the couch and chew on deer antlers.
Tinkerbell cannot wait to be the light and love of her forever family!
Tinkerbell's adoption fee is $550.
Tinkerbell is spayed, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped.
Given the conditions Tinkerbell originated from, upon rescue, she tested positive for Heartworm disease. Thanks to Home for Good Dog Rescue, Tinkerbell has completed her Heartworm treatment.
*Heartworm disease is a serious and if left untreated, fatal disease. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels of affected animals, causing severe lung disease, heart failure, and damage to other organs in the body. Mosquitoes are carriers of heartworms and have the ability to infect dogs all year round, especially in the Southeastern portion of the United States and during the summer months.*
**Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org**
HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life!
