Meet Inky, a pint-sized pooch with a big personality! This tiny terror is looking for a forever home, but beware, he's not for the faint of heart. He's a big fan of hogging the bed, telling off the neighbor-dogs, darting out open doors, and generally causing chaos, so he's in search of a home with adults only. No kids, just Inky and his human, living their best lives. Maybe another dog, as long as they’re tolerant of Inky’s occasional ‘tude. If they get on his good side, he’ll entertain them with his flopover play style - think possums!  

If you've got a sense of humor and a thick skin, then Inky just might be the perfect fit for you. Be prepared for a little excitement, a lot of laughter, and a companion who will keep you on your toes. Just don't say we didn't warn you! Inky is a snuggle bug looking for someone who will let him share their bed - sleeping under the covers is a must for him!

He loves going on walks, to the park, and out to pet friendly stores. However, he takes time to warm up, so he does require a home with a securely fenced in yard to safely go potty in until he’s ready for walks, not to mention sun bathing! Inky is potty trained and will stand by the door to let you know when he needs to go, but will potty inside if you make him wait too long (he has a little chihuahua bladder!).

Once he warms up, he absolutely adores his people and loves to cuddle as close as possible! He does get possessive of his space with other dogs, and would do best as the only dog in the home - though he may coexist well with another calm dog who respects his personal space. He is looking for an adult only home as he can get nippy when his boundaries are pushed, and he prefers women to men.

He is looking for an experienced dog person (or someone genuinely willing to learn) who is willing to respect his boundaries while continually building his confidence. If interested, please email arkfosterdogs@gmail.com.
