Punkin's Story

Hi there, my name is Punkin, and I figured the best way for you to get to know me is to tell you how I like to spend my days. It always starts off with my foster mom getting up far earlier than necessary. But that's okay, while she is busy letting my four-legged foster siblings out I capitalize on some very necessary additional snooze time. I am definitely a "sets more than one alarm type girly" while I wait for my foster mom to come back and give me some extra morning snuggles followed by stretches. In 2026 I'm trying to focus on my health and wellness.<br/><br/>Once I'm up, I run around and play with my foster siblings (including my own son). If you didn't know, I'm a mommy! All my pups have been adopted -- including the one that is lucky enough to live at my foster mama's house forever! After a while, my foster mom tucks me into my own personal bed with a blanket in a crate for you guessed it... more nap time. If I could read, I would for sure spend my crate time reading some true crime stories while my foster mom is gone.<br/><br/>Once she is back home she lets everyone back outside while I wait patiently in my crate for more snuggles and stretches. If my foster mom doesn't give me any snuggles than I refuse to come out of my crate. Like I said, I'm prioritizing my health and wellness this year. If my foster mom thinks I'm not gonna get snuggles multiple times a day, then she has another thing coming!<br/><br/>At night we play until we drop -- which isn't very long for me. I would much prefer sitting on the couch and staring into my foster mama's soul a mere 3" from her face (which personally I don't think is close enough) while she watches NCIS. Then at night is my favorite part of the day where we get to snuggle up and go back to sleep.<br/><br/>My foster mom said I should also mention that I love cats, especially nap time or showering them with kisses! I LOVE to play with other dogs, big/small/old/young - no discrimination here - I even do a great job at sharing toys and food! I also love people, I sometimes get so excited to shake my butt it gets going so fast my whole body wiggles and the girls at the vets office think I'm so cute when I do that. Unfortunately, I have developed some stranger danger and lack of confidence in new places and meeting new dogs. I'm working on it and I'm really trying so hard so when I meet my very own forever family I'll be the most perfect girl ever! Will that be you? Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start
