Hi all tinker here just to let you all know I have with my family 4 years today.i am so happy here I get everything I want . Sometimes when I'm left while nana shops I take loads of thing and put them on my bed . I take nannas cardigan and lay on it I take papas slippers to and I get the towel which nanna uses to clean my paws with hehe when I go out in the garden that nice lawn papa had is more like my race track now . I have lots of fun I have broken nans stand with her flowers in don't think she was very pleased about it she had only done it yesterday but it was in my way so I can't get the blame . I have dug lots oh holes and when my papa fills them up I do it again I think he should give it up now and let me dig . Hehe but on the hole I'm a very good good girl well I think so I know they love me to bits cause I get treats and lovely meals so I'm glad that I live here don't think they would change me for anyone else anyway . I must go now as I'm going with my nanna and papa for a long walk love to all my friends and lots of love to my auntie Ruth and all the love to all the helpers o and big hugs to uncle rob I will see you and auntie Ruth when I come to stay with my friends at your lovely house .????????????XXX

Hi, Tinker sounds like she is looking for the right home. We are looking into the breed and can offer a mix of a quiet and active home with a 4 year old and 2 other rescue dogs. Our gilrs are well trained and socialised. Is there anything you can tell us about Tinker you think we should know before coming and seeing her? xx

What amazing ears you have pretty girl

sooooo cutexxxxxx

So lovely, hope she gets a second chance at home life soon xxxx

Ahhhh that is a lovely write up, am so sorry it didn't work out for you, it must be so hard, I'm sure Tinker will find a new home very soon xxxx

Tinker is a really affectionate dog, very loving. She can be left alone, doesn't chew things. She is house trained with just the occasional wee wee. We miss her loads.

Is Tinker fully house trained and can she be left alone ?

aww real beauty xxxx

Really hope she finds a new home quickly xxxx best wishes to her family, they must be sad xxxx

Sad news for Tinker and her family, hopefully it won't be long before she is rehomed again. xx

Oh how sad, hope the family are o.k.
Tinker will get her forever home soon.
