Pumpkin's Story

Attention: This is a courtesy posting only! This pet is NOT available through Mountain Pet Rescue. Please do NOT contact MPR for information about the pet or apply to adopt this pet on the MPR website. Contact bhmurray@gmail.com for more information or to adopt the pet.Meet Pumpkin! Pumpkin is a handsome 1 to 2-year-old, 50-pound boy who is trying to beat the odds. He was found abandoned, malnourished and suffering from a broken leg. After surgery, lots of care and time to heal, Pumpkin is on the path to recovery. He has gained weight, is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered and ready for the best part of his story—a forever family of his own where he can continue to heal and enjoy his best life.Pumpkin is extremely affectionate and loves being with people. He has a joyful, playful personality and lots of youthful energy, so he would thrive with an active person or family who will take him on walks, hikes and backyard adventures. Once playtime is over, he is more than happy to curl up and soak up all the attention you can give him.Pumpkin didn't know any commands when he was first rescued, but he is very smart and proving to be a fast learner. He’s already house- and crate-trained, and eager to please. Since he's been focused on healing from surgery, he hasn't spent time around other dogs yet. We think he was probably a hunting dog, so he’ll do best in a home without small animals and will need additional leash training.Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Pumpkin is his sweet, trusting nature. Despite everything he went through, he has an enormous capacity for affection and seems genuinely delighted just to be loved. He is resilient, curious, energetic, eager to please and ready to become someone's best friend.Pumpkin has already begun the hard work of healing. Now all he needs is a loving home where he can finally belong. Could you be this special boy’s perfect match?Contact me today at bhmurray@gmail.com to learn more about sweet Pumpkin!<br/><br/>All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption. Contact the foster parent or Mountain Pet Rescue at pets@mpravl.org for more information.<br/><br/>Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix.
