Tinkerbelle was rescued from a shelter by Sam Carrell in 2012.[4] Carrell was at the shelter visiting a friend, but was told Tinkerbelle would not socialize, eat, or come to anyone.[5] Carrell adopted her and took her everywhere she went in order to socialize her, eventually meeting an agent while on a walk in New York City.[4]

Tinkerbelle debuted as a dog model in a Ralph Lauren collection. She has since modeled for brands that include American Eagle, Burt's Bees, and Converse.[2] Additional appearances include playing Chowsie, Rose's dog, in a production of Gypsy,[6] and in promos for the movie A Dog's Purpose.[7] She is also a regular at New York Fashion Week.[8]
