Story
Chocolate: 5 yr old chocolate male Miniature Pinscher, neutered, undocked tail and uncropped ears. 14 inches tall, 17 lbs. Fully vetted. Rescued from shelter. Chocolate came into the shelter extremely overweight. So far, he has gone from a whopping 24 lbs in the shelter to 17 lbs with IMPS MinPin Rescue. He feels SO much better with his new energy as you can see in his video. He was extremely fearful in the shelter and is doing better with his foster home. They are working on socializing him on frequent walks and getting him used to other dogs. He's coming along nicely! Chocolate is a special little guy. He was found on the streets & was morbidly obese. He has since slimmed down & learned to live in a home with another Pup. He takes a while to warm up to his human but does like to cuddle almost immediately! His history is unknown but we do know he is a strong little guy with a heart that yearns to feel safe. He is currently in a foster home with a big, very chill dog but it took him awhile to understand that he doesn't need to be fearful, his foster brother didn't want to hurt him. He now happily walks up to his foster brother, sniffs him & tries to engage in play! He arrived at his foster home scared of everything & everyone but has come such a long way. He now lets strangers give him treats & will curiously walk up to some of them. He is HIGHLY food/treat motivated. He LOVES Pup cups! Chocolate is working on his social skills and manners and will sit & wait for people & other dogs to pass on walks. He will also sit & pose for the camera as you can see in his photos and videos! He loves to cuddle after dinner. He likes sleeping in the bed with his humans but can also sleep in a crate if you rather. He is potty trained & is working on "place". He has also gone on nature hikes & knows "out" (of the kitchen). He has 2 little stuffies he'll play with sometimes & his zoomies are the cutest! As you can see in his video, his newfound energy from his weight loss makes him love to run in the park or a yard! He's good in the car but travels in a crate due to his desire to constantly jump from the back seat to the front and back again. He does not like to be carried but has allows us to slowly manipulate his body which we've been working on to eventually desensitize him to being picked up. Chocolate has great training potential once he feels safe & secure. He needs a forever family willing to give him time, compassion, understanding, gentle guidance & love. Watch a video of Chocolate at https://youtube.com/shorts/0kmCwfnrflc Note: Chocolate is located in San Diego, CA - and we will not fly this boy.

Story
Meet Crunchy: Your Next Adventure Buddy 🐾 Crunchy is an seven-year-young Miniature Pinscher/Australian Kelpie mix with a heart full of joy and paws that are always ready for the next adventure. Through no fault of his own, Crunchy is looking for a new forever home after his loving family experienced life changes that made it impossible to keep him. He comes from a home where he was truly cherished — and it shows in his bright spirit and good house manners. If you’ve been searching for a four-legged adventure partner, Crunchy may just be your perfect match. 🌲 Nature Lover & Trail Companion Crunchy thrives outdoors. He loves hikes, long walks, and exploring new places. Whether it’s a scenic trail, a neighborhood stroll, or a romp at the dog beach, he’s happiest when he’s moving and discovering the world alongside his person. 🎾 Fetch Fanatic Throw the ball, and you’ve won his heart. Crunchy is fascinated by fetch and would happily make it part of your daily routine. It’s one of his favorite ways to bond and burn off energy. 🐕 Social & Dog-Friendly Crunchy does well with other dogs and may truly flourish in a home with a canine companion. He enjoys having a buddy to share life with and would likely love an active dog sibling. 🏡 House-Trained & Smart This handsome guy is fully house-trained and understands home life. He transitions beautifully into a routine and appreciates structure paired with adventure. 💛 Independent but Affectionate Crunchy isn’t a velcro lap dog — but that’s part of his charm. He enjoys coming up for pets, leaning in for scratches, and being brushed. He shows affection in his own confident, balanced way. Think of him as your adventure partner first, cuddle buddy second. 🕒 Best Fit Home Crunchy would do best in a home with a yard where someone works from home or isn’t gone for long stretches of time. He bonds closely with his people and loves being part of the daily rhythm of life. He’s also wonderfully expressive — if he hasn’t had enough physical activity or mental engagement, he won’t suffer in silence! He’ll happily let you know it’s time for a walk or some play. An active home that embraces his energy (and appreciates a communicative dog) will be his perfect match. Who Is Crunchy Looking For? Crunchy would thrive with: An active person or family who enjoys the outdoors Someone home much of the day or with a flexible schedule A commitment to daily walks, hikes, and playtime A home where he has easy access to a yard A home with another friendly dog (a bonus!) An adopter who appreciates a spirited, intelligent companion At seven years old, Crunchy is in that wonderful stage of life where he’s mature, house-trained, and still full of zest for adventure. He has so much life, loyalty, and joy left to give. If your idea of happiness includes fresh air, a ball in hand, and a loyal dog trotting beside you — Crunchy is ready to meet you.
