Adopt a Pet

Help Find Pumpkin A New Home

Here is the rewritten summary in HTML with proper formatting:

Pumpkin is a one-year-old, 40-pound mixed-breed girl quietly winning hearts at her shelter — and she is ready for a forever home.

When she first arrived, she was cautious and reserved.

But day by day, her warm, gentle personality has been coming forward in the most beautiful way.

Pumpkin came in alongside her sister, Midnight, and the two share an unbreakable bond.

Families open to doubling the love have a truly special opportunity to adopt both sisters together.

Pumpkin is also ready to shine on her own — she simply needs a patient, encouraging family willing to meet her where she is.

The adoption fee is $110 and includes spay, microchip, vaccinations, deworming, and flea treatment.

She is ready to blossom, ready to trust, and ready to become the best part of someone's everyday life.
