Pinky Tuscadero - Foster Maltese Gloucester, MA

Pinky is available to meet by appointment. Submit an application at CapeAnnAnimalAid.org/Adopt and an Adoption Counselor will reach out to you.

He can be a little persnickety and doesn't like being touched much until he has time to get to know you- luckily this guy is a major foodie so snacks are definitely the key to earn his trust.

When he first got to us his skin was bright pink, irritated and he had a ton of hair loss- we believe a mix of his poor health and lack of positive interactions with people lead to his handling sensitivities- with positive reinforcement and the right medications he has come a long way but there is still room for improvement.

Despite his rotund figure he is quite playful! He loves his toys- stuffies that crinkle and squeak, balls he can chase after- you can tell he really loves a specific toy when he makes little piglike snorts.

Pinky is looking for an adult only home so that he can continue to become accustomed to handling and build a bond with his person at his own pace.

He is considered a special needs adoption due to his thyroid issues that he is on medication for as well as his handling sensitivities.

Despite all his quirks, Pinky can be a really great dog for a very specific type of person and we're sure his perfect match will come along. Do you have persnickety little dog experience and willing to give this guy the patience and love he deserves? Submit an application to learn more about him!
