Miniature Pinscher puppies and dogs in Franklin, Massachusetts

I’m Copper, a 4-month-old Dachshund/Min Pin mix. My sister Cinder and I were surrendered in Louisiana because we were unwanted puppies, but we thrived in our foster home down South. Our foster mom says we are very loving and like nothing better than curling up in someone’s lap. We have lived with other dogs, cats, and children and got along with all of them! We are playful, sweet puppies looking for our forever families. Please apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp, and someone will get right back to you with the next steps.

Gordon Ramsey prefers to be referred to as Gordie. He knows his name and wags his tail and looks around for you when you say his name loudly - and preferably at a higher pitch. Gordie's a 15 lb chihuahua. He is looking for a home that will respect him for the independent guy he is. He shows his love and affection with tongue licks and tail wags. He would prefer if you showed your affection by saying his name and scratching his head. He does not like cuddling. He does not like too much noise or chaos. He especially doesn't like when he doesn't feel in control, and while he really loves humans, they are on average ten times his size, so certainly he feels out of control often. Gordie has recently competed in the Biggest Loser challenge and he reports in that he is 1 lb away from his goal weight. A portion of his food portions were cut back and replaced with vegetables. He has liked all vegetables that he has tried except the green peppers. These were each meticulously licked to ensure that no gravy from his wet food on the pieces of green pepper and left in his bowl. He has offered that all green peppers in the future can be donated to the starving dogs on his behalf. Handicaps: - Gordie’s eyesight is failing him. He has cataracts and some eye inflammation that was treated on a recent visit. This has made an already unsure guy, a bit more unsure. - Gordie has separation anxiety that is well managed with Prozac. His anxiety presents itself as whimpering, low howling and searching for the humans. This has not been exhibited since beginning his Prozac. - Gordie is afraid of going down stairs - and will whimper for help. - Gordie has specific rules about how you can and cannot touch him. Since his eyesight is failing, he prefers to have his name spoken, a hand put out for smelling and then you can pick him up from his side. He does not do well when startled- and will give a warning nip. His definition of startled includes when you fall asleep on the couch with him and he awakes on the couch with you. He votes one star- do not recommend. He may sit with you for a few moments, but he really prefers to have all four of his paws firmly on the ground unless you are providing him elevator service (see above for stairs). - Gordie needs trazadone prior to a vet visit if the vet would like to touch him. While you and I know that doctors do things that seem mean but are to help, Gordie has not learned this. He does not understand why you are poking him and will use all of his forces to have you stop. - Gordie has some environmental allergies that can give him an unproductive cough. However, these have been well controlled in his foster home with an over the counter allergy med, zyrtec and benedryl, as needed. Gordie’s hobbies include: - Napping - as often as possible. - Sunbathing - he really loves it. He even plays “dead” with his tongue out. - Gordie spends much of his awake hours finding the humans. Due to his sight issues, this can result in him getting stuck behind furniture. Gordie was built without a reverse feature - so him turning around is reminiscent of an Austin Powers scene. - Giving grateful, loving kisses to his foster mom. - Tail wagging and dancing at dinner time. He even tried to follow his old lady foster sibling's example and yelling in excitement - but he has since learned that this means you eat last... so he has given it up. Ultimately, Gordie is looking for a home that will accept him as he is. If you follow Gordie's rules on cohabitation, he is a great, loving companion. He should not be in a home with children or another vision challenged dog (he thinks it’s very rude when his blind foster sister bumps into him, when he couldn’t see her coming…). He lives well with vision-gifted dogs.

ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent.
