Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, my name is McKinley, and I came to MVPC VERY shut down and scared. Now that I know I am safe and have had time to decompress, I am ready for a family. I have spent the last few months attending group training and moving to and from different foster homes to ensure I am confortable with change. I am doing better and better with every home I go to! I love other dogs and take comfort from them, but with people I can be shy and still take awhile to feel comfortable. Once I am, I am a goofball who will play, run and ask for attention. I am food motivated, so that is an easy way into my heart. I absolutely need a family that will continue to let me experience new things and get me out and about (and be my advocate when others want to come up and meet me). I am very good in public, just not the social butterfly, and that may change as I realize I am HOME and my family will keep me safe. Only about 35-40lbs, I am definitely a pocket sized pup, but still an athlete!
Fun facts? There are chickens in my foster home and I don’t really care they are there. I love my crate, and will go lay down there when I am uncomfortable. I also watch TV!! Like full on will binge watch Netflix with you.
ADOPTION FEE: $200 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained)
I AM READY TO GO HOME!! If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $200 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me!
ADOPTER: Dog experience
BIRTHDAY: est 1-3
FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment)
DOG FRIENDLY: Yes!
DOGS IN HOME: Preferred (male) but not required

INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com. We do not adopt to individuals under the age of 25.
DO NOT: USE THE PETFINDER INQUIRY/CONTACT/ADOPT BUTTONS--we are unable to monitor those and you will not receive a response.
PLEASE NOTE: We are volunteer based and a home visit is required; we have a two-hour adoption radius from Kettering, OH for our adult dogs and 75 miles for our puppies. Exceptions for our ADULT dogs only, though rare, may be made on a case-by-case basis but we must be able to do a home visit. Thank you for your understanding!
