Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Found on a freezing night at the beginning of 2025, this tiny survivor has had quite the journey. Just days after rescue, she broke her leg - likely from being malnourished, as it happened during a playful jump. Her amazing foster family has spent months nursing her back to health and helping her transform her into a lovable, snuggly, wildly clever family pup. About Punky: Personality: Smart, energetic, loyal, and hilariously quirky Good With: • Dogs – loves them! • Kids – great, just a little rough when she’s extra playful • Cats – she LOVES them; they don’t always love her enthusiasm Bonus Feature: Will chase away mice, raccoons, and any other unwanted home invaders She’d make an incredible mountain biking partner, running buddy, or hunting/working companion - anything active where she can put her brain and energy to good use! Note: She has come a long way, but she’s still a bit of a work-in-progress. Her ideal adopter will have patience, a sense of humor, and time to continue her training. She aims to please and learns fast - especially when snacks are involved. Ready to meet Punky?! Reach out to RCHS to set up a meet & greet today!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 8, 2025, 11:41 pm
