Pinto is a 10-month-old bundle of sunshine with paws that seem permanently set to "go." This happy pup is full of youthful energy, wagging enthusiasm, and a whole lot of love to give. He greets the world with bright eyes and a tail that never quits, always ready for the next adventure or cuddle break.

Pinto thrives on playtime, enjoys staying busy, and would love a home that can match his zest for life. Whether it's walks, games, or learning new things, he's eager to be your sidekick. After burning off some energy, he's more than happy to soak up affection and remind you just how sweet he is.

If you're looking for a fun, loving companion who will keep your days lively and your heart full, Pinto is ready to bounce right into your life.
