We have had Roscoe since he was born basically. My sisters dog is his mother. He has been grown up around other animals but has become unpredictable and bitten 4 times. 3 dogs and a cat. He has been raised with children. Very playful but loves to nap and cuddle. I’d be happy to answer more specific questions if you have any.

Story
He does not have a dominant or aggressive bone in his body. He is fantastic with other dogs! He is NOT good with cats so if he goes to a home with cats, I recommend separating him from them. He could definitely use more training but otherwise, he is a sweet and playful boy.

Story
Smoke was my son's dog, however, my son had to move 5 hours away, with his job, and into a small apartment. He was unable to take Smoke with him. My landlord will not allow me to keep Smoke because of their tenant policy here. Smoke is a lab/pit mix, around 4 years old, and he is around 58 lbs. Smoke is housebroken, vaccinated and neutered. For now, Smoke is in a small apartment with me. Smoke injured his back right leg around 5 months ago, but you cant really tell, as he loves to run, jump and play. Smoke is an indoor dog, but would do well with more room, a fenced in back yard to play in, or a farm to live on. Smoke has alot of love to give. He needs a best friend to do things with. Occasionally he enjoys watching TV. I've only seen Smoke in a controlled environment around other dogs and children, so anything outside that I'm not sure about.

Miniature Pinscher

Female, Adult
Marion, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Heidi is a great companion for someone that loves to travel with her or just to have cuddles on the couch. She is great on long car rides and in hotel rooms! She is crate trained and loves to bury herself in blankets. She loves her food and treats. Heidi likes children, adults, and isn’t bothered by cats. Heidi isn’t a fan of other dogs that nip or try to play with her. She is very low maintenance requiring very little grooming. She would be great for an older couple or a family that likes to keep her with them. We are located in the Dallas, TX area.

Story
This is Sly. He's an 8 month old male lab mix (not sure). He's UTD on shots and has been neutered. He's house trained and is learning to 'sit'. He's very loveable, likes to lick your face and relax next to you. He's good with young teens but hasn't been around anyone younger. He's good with puppies, small breed dogs and females. He does not do well with other male dogs his size or larger. He would be best in a home where he's the only dog or with small breeds. He needs someone to give him attention and playtime. He loves to run and chew on toys. A fenced yard is a plus.
