Pinecone is a 1 year old mixed breed dog. This sweet girl came into the shelter quite shy and scared, but opened up to staff after a couple days and was the sweetest little wrecking ball! Pinecone goes head first into your lap for love, and has therefore been granted this “wrecking ball” status. Pinecone is very sweet and loves showing her affection. In Pinecone’s first week here at the shelter, she began to show some abnormal respiratory symptoms that warranted an emergency vet visit. After an exam and an endoscope procedure, it was determined that Pinecone was showing signs of subcutaneous emphysema. While this condition can be recurring, Pinecone has been safe and healthy ever since and is currently thriving in her foster home with her foster brother, a male Newfoundland. This emphysema was likely caused by the fragment of a toy lodging in Pinecone’s esophagus, so good quality toys are a must for her.
Pinecone has done great with her foster brother and, given proper introductions, could live with other dogs! Pinecone would do best in an active home as she regularly enjoys going on runs in her foster home. If you are looking for a companion who will greet you with a big smile and tail wags, Pinecone could be a good fit! Please be sure to schedule a visit with Pinecone before arriving at the shelter. As she is in a foster home, she is unable to meet any walk-in visitors.
Pinecone’s adoption fee is $175. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. If you are interested in meeting her, please call or email us at staff@whitmanpets.org.
