A volunteer writes: Tinkerbell is the dog dreams are made of! Most obviously, she is STUNNING! Her gorgeous blue merle turns heads as we walk down the street. And Tinkerbell is excellent on leash, not pulling at all. She seems housetrained and is super tuned to her handler. She has a soft, sweet demeanor, always wagging her tail. She’s been a momma and was surrendered with her baby, who has since been adopted. Tinkerbell is like a little fairy sprinkling her loving dust on everyone she meets. Ask to meet her today!
