Hi all.... it's Zach. I wanted to remind everyone I am still available for adoption. I know my family is out there.

As a reminder: I am an approximate 5 year old neutered male Yorkie mix. I weigh around 9 pounds. I will shed little to none. I am such a beautiful little dog.

I was very fearful when I first came to PNK. I've been in my Foster home a little over a month now and the fear is gone! I am very comfortable and relaxed. You can tell that in the bottom picture as I am asking Foster Mom can I have another cookie! I'm still nervous being picked up. I love to play with other dogs! Or you....I just love to play. House training is still a work in progress. I do have a little bit of the terrier stubbornness! 😀 Hey, that's part of my charm!

So, when I first come to your home, I will probably be afraid. But, just give me a little time to acclimate and I will be your best buddy. Ideally, it will be a relatively quiet home, with no small children, or a lot of people coming and going.

Well, what do you think? Can we be a family? I'm ready. I have no health issues, I am fully vaccinated, microchipped, and recently had a dental.

Applications can be found on our website, at the top of this page, and the link will be added in the comments. I am located in Kernersville, NC.

💕 Happy, Happy Adoption Day 💕

Hi all..... it's Smuckers. I'm thrilled to share the happy news I am in my forever home. I am adopted!

I am pictured with my awesome new Mom and Dad. They are so wonderful and patient with me. I am settling in well and learning the routine of the house. I love playing with all of my toys. I overheard I might be getting a little brother or sister. That would be great! More playtime!!

I don't even remember that filthy, matted little boy who found himself in a shelter. I've underwent a lot of changes, but now have tons of love and stability. I also have the freedom to truly relax because I am home! A few pics are in the comments.

I want to thank everyone who put an application in for me. I overheard there were a lot! I really appreciate you wanting to give me a good home. Importantly, many thanks to all the incredible PNK supporters, for without you, I could not be here.

I have a new name....Sully.

Here's to a long, healthy, and happy life together!
Love, Smuckers ( Sully)

💕 Happy, Happy Adoption Day! 💕

Hi all.... it's Frisky. I am so sorry I'm late with my announcement but I have been having so much fun! Let me say it out loud.... I am in my forever home. I am adopted!

I am pictured with my wonderful new Mom and Dad. They are the best! I am already so spoiled. You won't get any complaints from me! I settled in very quickly. It was like I was meant to be here. Mom said I was such a fun little guy, a true cuddle bug, and so so loving. Yep, that's me!

My family has a grand dog I get to play with and they also have a grandson I get to run around with! Could life be any better? I don't think so. I have come a long way from the filthy, matted little guy that found himself in a shelter. Never again! Just the good life from here on!

I want to thank everyone who put in an application for me. I heard there were a lot! I really appreciate you wanting to give me a good home. As always, PNK and me want to thank all of the incredible PNK supporters who help make these magical moments come true.

I have a new name now..... Ollie.

Here's to a long, healthy, and happy life together!
Love, Frisky ( Ollie)

♥️ UPDATE: Smuckers has been adopted, but Ripley is still available! ♥️

Hi all.... it's Ripley ( left ) and Smuckers. We both had quite a day and are glad to be headed home. They said we both did very well! We were well behaved in the lobby around all the other people and dogs. Smuckers did bark at other dogs, however.

Since I, Smuckers, am the most talkative, I will go first. I am happy to report my neuter went well, my exam found no issues, but my parasite screening did test positive for hookworms. I have medication that will take care of them. I also have a double ear infection. Medication was put in my ears that will last for 2 weeks and nothing further is needed. I was aged 1.5.-2 years and weighed in at 8.2 pounds. Your turn, Ripley, if you can be still long enough.

Thanks, Smuckers! I am the more energetic one. I am also happy to report my neuter went well, my exam found no issues, and all my screenings were good. I was also aged 1.5.-2 years and weighed in at 9.2 pounds.

We heard they are still processing our applications and are in the process of setting up home visits. They are not accepting applications on either of us right now.

So we are going home to rest, I guess. We will be dreaming of our forever homes. Hope to meet you soon!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
Love, Ripley and Smuckers

Hi all..... it's Ripley. I feel so much better after my bath and trim! I admit I did not want to sit for my grooming picture, so we added a more relaxed picture of me at home on the bottom. It is not easy to photograph black dogs! Many thanks to our amazing friend Jennifer at All Things Dogs for always being there for the PNK pups and the incredible work she does!

For those who may not have met me yet: I am an approximate 2 year old male small mixed breed. I don't know what breed of dog I am, but I will shed very little. Maybe a schnauzer/poodle mix? I weigh around 9 pounds.

A little about me: I am sweet, affectionate, and very friendly. I do ok with other dogs. House training is going well. I'm very playful. Can't you see me running around with a bunch of kids? I'm not too bad on a leash with a harness and I ride well in a vehicle. Just look at my puppy eyes! They are beautiful. Warning: they can definitely hypnotize you! So you want to adopt me now? Well fill out that application and let's be a family! Just wait till you see me in person!

I am now ready for my neuter, exam, and screenings which are scheduled for tomorrow, August 21st. I will be ready to join you soon after.

Applications can be found on our website, at the top of this page, and the link will be added in the comments. You can always message us. I am located in Kernersville, NC.

♥️ADOPTED ♥️

Hi all.... it's Smuckers. Yes, all that fluffy hair had to go. I was so matted Jennifer had to practically shave me. My behind had a ton of f***s intertwined with my hair. I may not be as cute right now, but I sure do feel better. All that fluffy hair will grow back. Many thanks to our incredible friend Jennifer at All Things Dogs for her patience and skills!

For those who may not have met me yet: I am an approximate 1 year old male small mixed breed. I believe the overall consensus is I am a Havanese. I will shed little to none. I weigh around 8 pounds.

A little about me: I am super sweet and friendly with everyone! I do great with other dogs and love to play with them. I appear to be mostly housetrained. I do OK on a leash and ride well in a vehicle. I have medium energy.

I am now ready for my neuter, exam, and screenings which are scheduled for this Friday, August 21st. I will be ready to join you soon after.

Hi everyone!

My name is Ripley and I just joined the PNK family yesterday! My paperwork reads I am an approximate 2 year old male small mixed breed. Any guesses as to what breed? I weigh around 9 lbs. I was found as a stray, taken to a shelter, and no one came for me.

The kind person that found me gave me a bath, but I really need a haircut. I do have some matts. So, we will be visiting our amazing friend Jennifer at All Things Dogs soon.

Since I just arrived yesterday, I am still settling in. A few things we do know: I am very friendly to everyone. I love to be with you. I seem to do well with other dogs. I quickly learned the doggie door to potty outside. I have had a few accidents, but hey, I'm new here. More information will be provided as we get to know each other better.

My neuter, exam, and screenings are scheduled for this Friday, August 21st. I will be going with my Foster sibling, Smuckers. It will be a busy day!

The first step is always to put in an application. Applications can be found on our website, at the top of this page, and the link will be added in the comments. You can always message us. I am located in Kernersville, NC.

♥️ADOPTED ♥️

Hi everyone!

My name is Smuckers and I just joined the PNK family today! My paperwork reads I am an approximate 1 year-old male small mixed breed. Maybe Shih Tzu? I weigh around 8 pounds. I was found as a stray, taken to a shelter, and no one came for me.

As you can see, I am quite a mess. Next on the agenda is to visit our wonderful friend Jennifer at All Things Dogs for a much needed bath and trim.

Since I just arrived today, not much is known about me yet except for the fact I am a true sweetheart. I am friendly and affectionate. I seem to do well with other dogs. I am so cute even messy! More information will be provided as we all get to know each other better.

My neuter, exam, and screenings are scheduled for this Friday, August 21st. I will be ready to join you soon after.

Hi all.... it's Zach. I hope you haven't forgotten about me. I just had to give everybody an update.

I am no longer afraid in my Foster home! Just look at my body language now. My head, tail and ears are up, and I am on alert. I've discovered I like toys! Also, now instead of shying away from my foster canine siblings, I am engaging in play with them! I just needed a little time. I will need a little time in my new home as well, but as you can see, it will pay off!

I'm much more comfortable being petted and find it enjoyable. I'm still not a big fan of being picked up but I am not as wiggly as before. Since I now have confidence, we have been working on house training. I can be corrected without being fearful. I also love to go outside now. Before I was too afraid.

For those who may not have met me yet: I am a 5 year old neutered male Yorkie mix. I weigh around 9 pounds. I shed very little, if any. I am a healthy little guy, fully vaccinated, on all preventatives, and recently had a dental.

So what do y'all think? Are y'all as proud of me as I am? I would like a relatively quiet home with no small children. Another playful dog would be great! They can help me learn the ropes in my new home. I'm ready for my next chapter.

Applications can be found on our website, at the top of this page, and the link will be added in the comments. You can always message us. I am located in Kernersville, NC.

Please share so my family can find me!
Love, Zach
