Twinkle's Story

Born October 21, Twinkle and his 6 siblings were surrendered to a Canadian shelter with their Mom at just a couple days old. A child had gotten into the whelping box of the young Mom and unfortunately she attacked the child which resulted in 2 broken wrists. <br/><br/>Mom was surrendered with her babies by the backyard breeder.<br/><br/>The puppies stayed at the shelter until they were 6 weeks old, then they all joined foster homes at Mattie's Place and Mom joined a board & train program where she's being absolutely exceptional.<br/><br/>Mom is 29 KG/64 pounds. Dad is in the same weight range. At Twinkle's 1st vet appointment for his vaccines and dewormer he weighed in at 3.4 KG/7.5 pounds [Dec 3, 2025]. At his 2nd vaccine appointment Dec 29 he weighed in at 7 KG/15.5 pounds. At his final vaccine appointment, Feb 2, he weighed in at 13.4 kg / 29.5 pounds.<br/><br/>I estimate his weight to fall in the 70 - 80 pound range but I have actually no true idea.<br/><br/>Twinkle is still just a baby and will need someone home most often as he navigates the coming months so he can learn all he needs to learn day to day and not be sitting home in a crate while her family is out of the home for full work days. An adopter ready to jump into professional training is important so we can be sure he grows into an amazing adult dog.<br/><br/>Puppies are so much work, so be sure you are absolutely ready to take that roll on; sleepless nights, poop on your floor, your favourite shoes chewed alongside needed routines and commitment to puppyhood.<br/><br/>If you're looking for an amazing pup to welcome home, consider this beauty! <br/><br/>FROM THE FOSTER:<br/><br/>Sir Twinkle is the sweetest little love. <br/><br/>He is very curious and loves to explore and try new things so he is often getting into things he shouldn't, but that's life with a curious pup.<br/><br/>He enjoys chewing on his toys and has a healthy appetite! <br/><br/>He is doing very well with crate and potty training. <br/><br/>He often will go in his crate in his own for naps and has started asking at the door to be let out.<br/><br/>He is the most loveable ball of energy.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------<br/><br/>$875 ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES: spay/neuter, deworming, flea/tick prevention, vaccinations, dentals if needed or any added surgical needed surgical care, food, nose to tail health exam, toys, leash|collar, winter coat (seasonal), poop bags, dishes and 30 days of Trupanion pet insurance with immediate coverage on adoption day for any illness or injury not pre-existing.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------<br/><br/>To note: the above description is relevant to this dog in its current & previous setting. Home changes & adopter personalities can bring out different behaviours not previously seen.

Born October 21, Twinkle and his 6 siblings were surrendered to a Canadian shelter with their Mom at just a couple days old. A child had gotten into the whelping box of the young Mom and unfortunately she attacked the child which resulted in 2 broken wrists.

Mom was surrendered with her babies by the backyard breeder.

The puppies stayed at the shelter until they were 6 weeks old, then they all joined foster homes at Mattie's Place and Mom joined a board & train program where she's being absolutely exceptional.

Mom is 29 KG/64 pounds. Dad is in the same weight range. At Twinkle's 1st vet appointment for his vaccines and dewormer he weighed in at 3.4 KG/7.5 pounds [Dec 3, 2025]. At his 2nd vaccine appointment Dec 29 he weighed in at 7 KG/15.5 pounds. At his final vaccine appointment, Feb 2, he weighed in at 13.4 kg / 29.5 pounds.

I estimate his weight to fall in the 70 - 80 pound range but I have actually no true idea.

Twinkle is still just a baby and will need someone home mos
