Training Needs: Twinki knows 'no' and seeks out to please. As a a puppy, Twinki needs a stimulating environment with toys and opportunity to play (inside and out). She is learning what she can chewing manners. Housetraining is progressing, with consistency she will continue to be successful. In the meantime, patience will be needed as she learns where she is to go relieve herself. Twinki can be nervous around new people. This is manageable if she is given time and space to approach new people when she is ready. When at home she may bark at new people initially. In public or new environments, she tries to hide.

From Twinki's Foster:
Twinki seeks out connection from her humans and other dogs. She follows her humans throughout the house, a little white shadow. She is the best little cuddler, eager to snuggle up close, most content when she can press her little self next to you. Her loving heart cannot tolerate separation from her humans, she is very sad when left behind, she needs to be with a family who will include her and delight in her loving nature.
Twinki would do best in a home where her family is home more than not. She is an excellent companion for someone who works from home, retired or semi retired and able to play with her and take her for walks. Having a fenced yard to run and play in is a must.
