My story

✨ Meet Pinocchio ✨ Once upon a time, there was a little boy who was a bit different from the rest… and that’s exactly what makes him so special. 💙🐾 Pinocchio is a 1-year-old, special-needs boy who will require extra care for the rest of his life — but no one tell him that! 😉 Because in Pinocchio’s mind, he’s just a regular young pup who has NEVER met a stranger. Every person he meets is instantly his new best friend. 🥹 Pinocchio has an autoimmune disease that means his forever family will need to be patient, attentive, and willing to think outside the box alongside his veterinary team. His medical care will require someone who pays close attention to the little things, advocates for him, and understands that sometimes his path may look a little different than other dogs’. But Pinocchio doesn’t let any of that slow him down. ❤️ He is: 🐾 1 year young 🐾 A total lover boy 🐾 VERY dog friendly 🐾 Would love canine siblings 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Potty trained 🐾 A professional cuddle bug 🐾And absolutely convinced that everyone he meets is his best friend He may need a little extra magic, a little extra patience, and a family willing to look beyond what makes him different… But isn’t that what the best fairy tales are made of? ✨ Pinocchio is waiting for his happily ever after. And somewhere out there is the person who will see him exactly as he is — not broken, not too much, not too difficult… Just a very special boy who deserves to be loved for his whole story. 🩵🐾 📍 Pinocchio is looking for a forever family who is ready to think outside the box and give this incredible boy the life he deserves.
