Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell is ready for the good life! This senior terrier is 14-15 years old and weighs just under 18 pounds.<br/><br/>In October, she was left tied up outside an apartment complex in Providence. When we brought Tinkerbell to our rescue, she was scruffy, anxious, and suffering from a painful cherry eye and ear infection.<br/><br/>Although presumably from a home, Tinkerbell seemed quite nervous around people. She was aloof and stayed on the perimeter, watching the action, but seldom participating. However, over the last several weeks, we've seen a notable change in her personality. Part of that is due to us addressing her medical needs, and part of it is a result of her learning to trust us. <br/><br/>Tinkerbell is an independent senior. She enjoys having her own space and spends a lot of her time lounging in the various pens at the rescue, either sleeping or calmly observing. She isn't overly affectionate but is beginning to enjoy gentle pets and will even lean in for ear rubs. We imagine she'll only grow more confident and comfortable once she's settled in a home. She doesn't play with the other dogs, but she is fine with all of them. She just prefers to keep to herself. <br/><br/>Tinkerbell had surgery to correct her cherry eye and had three teeth extracted during a dental. She was also given medication for an ear infection and antibiotics for her skin. Tinkerbell is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and recently had full blood work. She also has a few small lipomas on her chest and a small bump on her vulva. <br/><br/>We would love to find an adopter who will allow Tinkerbell to come around in her own time and appreciates her independent nature. <br/><br/>If you're interested in adopting Tinkerbell, please submit an application at: https://www.vintagepetrescue.org/adopt
