About Lincoln

Lincoln is a 9-year-old senior miniature pinscher who narrowly avoided euthanasia when he was rescued from an Indiana shelter. He settled quickly into his foster home and immediately got along with all the other dogs, ranging from under 6 pounds to 40 pounds. Lincoln enjoys spending time out in the yard and prefers to stroll and sniff before taking care of his business, but you’ll want to make sure he actually goes before coming back in. He’s known to let his foster know when he needs out and will even use a potty pad in his pen if left alone. Lincoln’s bark comes out if he finds himself alone in his pen, but he settles down once he’s comfortable. He seems to get along with everyone he meets and doesn’t miss a chance to make new friends. Lincoln is fully vetted, neutered, and up to date on shots. Born April 17, he brings that steady, dependable Taurus energy to the home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
