Pippin

Miniature Pinscher Rat Terrier

Male, 1 yr 6 mos
Chaska, MN
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Adoption Fee: $460, plus tax Location: Foster Home Pippin was found in a good Samaritans yard one day with no tags and no chips. Not having seen him before, the finders spend the afternoon and evening walking him around to the neighbors to see if anyone knew where he had come from! After hanging on to him for the 10 day stray hold, Pippin came to us, and is now looking for his forever home. Pippin has been evaluated by a behaviorist due to his tendency to people guard and his leash aggressiveness. He has taken great strides with the help of Giffy Dog Training and his foster, who has been dedicated to help Pippin reduce his stress level. Once Pippin gets comfortable with a person, he becomes a ride or die! Pippin is in need of a single dog home who can keep up with the training that is needed for him to become the best dog.

Story
Adoption Fee: $400, plus tax* Location: Foster Home You know that song "She's a happy, happy dog, she's a happy happy happy dog"? That's our Minnie!! Minnie has the most expressive eyes and is a what we call, compact size! Minnie LOVES her humans. She is very tuned into pleasing her humans and is very attentive to the tone of your voice AND watches her humans closely. She loves her belly rubs and she is friendly to all humans she encounters! She knows the sit command and is very food motivated, aren't we all? She walks well on a leash, sleeps well through the night and does well in a kennel. Minnie loves humans more than other dogs, but she gets along well with other dogs as long as they don't push the boundaries. If her future home has other dogs, Minnie would ideally like to live with older non-dominant dogs. She would thrive in a home with non-dominant dogs or as a single pup. Medical Information on Minnie: Minnie has been diagnosed with four mast cell tumors. A mast cell tumor (MCT) is a type of malignant (cancerous) tumor consisting of mast cells. Mast cell tumors typically form nodules or masses in the skin, but they can also affect other areas of the body, including the spleen, liver, intestine, and bone marrow. MCTs are the most common skin tumor in dogs (7%-21%). Most dogs with MCT (approximately 85%) only develop one tumor. Minnie has had all 4 masses removed! She is healing well and is ready for her new home. CSHS is wanting to be completely transparent with protentional adopters regarding Minnie's medical history. Minnie still has a lot of life to live and deserves a forever home of her own. Continued monitoring of previous or new lumps/bumps with the adopter's regular veterinarian is highly recommended. *Due to Minnie's medical diagnosis her adoption fee has been reduced. If you are interested in meeting Minnie, please fill out an application on the Carver Scott Humane Society website today!
