**Meet Pinky (aka Hanky Panky): A Tiny Dog with a Big Personality and Even Bigger Heart**
World, meet the cutest Polly Pocket! Pinky is a 4-pound paperweight of pure attitude and endless affection. Saved from euthanasia, this sweet Chihuahua has conquered the challenges of living with hydrocephalus and learned to navigate the world like a pro. His adorable head tilt and signature spins make him the star of any room. He’ll always have a soft spot on his head due to his condition, but trust us—after meeting him, you’ll have a soft spot for him too!
Pinky, affectionately known as Hanky Panky, is a professional snuggler and napper who thrives on being close to his people. He adores riding around in a pouch, where he can stay right by your side, and he insists on sleeping in bed with his humans. When he's not chasing oversized tennis balls (courtesy of his foster sister), Pinky enjoys cozying up with his foster siblings—both dogs and cats—and hanging out with his 11-year-old human foster sister. His favorite activities also include eating in bed and being in the middle of all the action.
One thing Pinky doesn’t love? Crates. He’s happiest when he’s with someone who can take him everywhere. Social and adaptable, he thrives in new situations and loves being part of the mix.
**What is Hydrocephalus?**
Hydrocephalus is a condition where cerebrospinal fluid builds up in the brain, causing increased pressure. For Pinky, this means he’ll always have a soft spot on his head and some quirky behaviors like spinning or tilting his head. It also requires a lifetime commitment to managing his health, with regular vet care and lots of love.
Pinky is looking for a forever home with someone who can be by his side most of the time and provide for his medical needs. He’s a tiny pup with a big heart, ready to shower his person with kisses, cuddles, and a lifetime of love.
