Slinky Mixed Breed Houston, TX

Meet Slinky, the sweetest 8-month-old pup (os of 10/17/24) who's full of potential and love! Slinky is already well on her way to becoming a perfectly trained companion. She’s eager to please, picking up commands quickly—she knows how to sit until released, wait before exiting her crate, come inside on command, and even leave her food bowl untouched until given the okay. Though she’s still learning "down," her progress is impressive, and her determination is evident.

Slinky’s name comes from her adorable habit of "slinking" through the dog door when she was first introduced to it. After seeing her foster sibling use it, she caught on quickly and now breezes through with ease!

This playful girl loves toys and enjoys a good game of tug with other dogs or fetching a ball (with her own playful twist). She’s extremely food-motivated, which makes training a breeze, but her desire to make her humans happy is just as strong.

Slinky does well in the car, even with other dogs, though her rides have been short so far. She also has a gentle, curious side—she'll bound after squirrels and cats but doesn't seem determined to catch them. She loves being around people and is a loyal companion who follows her foster around and sleeps next to them at night.

While crate training is still a work in progress, Slinky is getting more comfortable with it, especially when high-value treats or meals are involved. With access to a dog door, she’s fully house-trained and has no accidents. Having another dog around helps keep her happy and engaged, especially when her foster is away.

Slinky is working on her leash manners and hasn’t been around kids yet, but with her sweet and eager-to-learn personality, she’ll make a wonderful addition to any home. If you're looking for a super cute, loyal pup who's full of love and potential, Slinky is ready to find her forever home!

She is located in Houston, TX and can be transported to most states for a fee.
