Bear is a small mixed-breed dog, mostly Miniature Pinscher with a bit of Chihuahua, which keeps him petite compared to the min pin standard. He came into rescue with littermates after his previous owner—a breeder—couldn’t keep them, and has already been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and checked for heartworm (he’s negative, and on prevention). Bear’s tail was docked by his breeder before arriving at the rescue. He needs a securely fenced yard, as he isn’t leash trained and potty breaks should be in a private, safe space—no doggie doors, as those won’t work for him. Bear isn’t house trained yet, but he does get along nicely with other dogs. Vet references and consistent heartworm prevention are required to adopt, and if you live out of the area, you’ll need to come meet him in person. He needs a home ready to provide firm boundaries and patience while he learns the ropes. Your new best friend is just one click away.
