Pinky

This approximately 2-year-old OES, Pinky (AKA Pinkster), found his forever home on September 18th, 2025. He was found as a stray in New Mexico and now lives his very best life in El Paso, Texas. Before finding his forever home, Pinky was re-fostered after allegedly breaking into a neighbor’s house and earning himself the reputation of a kleptomaniac. (Whoops!) His second foster never saw any evidence of this, and neither had his forever family. That is, until he became very comfortable. (Another whoops!) That’s when items around the house began mysteriously disappearing, only to be rediscovered later with Pinky casually chewing on them like nothing ever happened.

He once cleared the fence of his home in approximately five seconds to chase after his humans’ car while one of them was standing right next to him. Terrifying? Yes. Impressive? Also yes.

They have also found him standing proudly on top of their dining room table multiple times, apparently trying to inform them that he is finished eating. (There is whoops #3!) Personal space, furniture rules, and basic boundaries are concepts Pinky simply chooses not to acknowledge. This cutie has completely changed the rhythm of his family’s daily life for the better. He fills their home with laughter, chaos, cuddles, and constant entertainment.

He loves playing with his big sister and brother. People are always shocked that his big sister, the family’s resident Fun Police, actually wrestles with him and showers him with kisses.

Pinky especially enjoys teasing his big brother by taking full advantage of his smaller build despite big brother also being an OES (allegedly). Pinky will steal his brother’s fetch toys, parade around proudly with them, then strategically drop them on the opposite side of the backyard just to watch big brother wander around confused, waiting for a human to throw the toy that Pinky secretly relocated. Psychological warfare appears to be one of his favorite hobbies. (Pinky surely isn’t lacking personality!)

He also enjoys spending quality time staring at Mom’s face from approximately two inches away. At night, his favorite place to sleep is directly on top of Mom. Not next to. Not nearby. On Mom. Personal comfort is secondary to maximum physical contact. His family often jokes, but also truly believe, that their 15-year-old OES, Falkor, who went to doggy heaven last April, may have sent Pinky to them so they wouldn’t miss him quite so much. The similarities between them are simply too many to ignore, and more than once they’ve caught themselves calling Pinky “Falkor Jr.”

Pinky’s favorite things included, but most certainly aren’t limited to: Olympic-level jumping demonstrations (disguised as playing fetch because he never actually catches anything), tooshie scratches, wrestling sessions, toy redistribution operations and maximum human proximity at all times. That said, there’s also a list of things he isn’t shy about disliking: being away from his humans, his kennel (of course - antics aren’t limited there!) and going potty without emotional support.

Pinky is territorial, loyal, loving, silly, sneaky, slightly manipulative, deeply affectionate, and possesses absolutely zero boundary comprehension. (Sounds like the perfect OES description!!) And somehow, exactly when they needed him most, he found his way home. They wouldn’t have him any other way and he is completely, undeniably theirs. (If this isn’t a match made in heaven, we don’t know what is!)
