Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Hey!! My name is Half-Pint.
My foster mom and dad say I am typical min pin, even though I am a mix. I am about 2 years old and love to play play play.
I love to run around and explore. I have to check out every part of the yard and therefore, I will require a fenced yard. If you don't have a fenced yard, then we will need to go on lots of walks and have even more play time. I will need to be on a leash if it is not a fenced area to play in.
And speaking of playing – did I tell you I love to play? I would really like to have a playmate. They don't have to be a Min Pin, any sized dog will do. If you don't have a playmate for me, that's okay I'll play with you!!!! I do love to cuddle as well, so please make sure you have a lap ready.
My foster family says I need to learn manners and have been trying to teach them to me. They say I need an alpha owner as I like to try to be the boss. I'm not mean, just showing them I care. You see, I was never taught how to be a family pet. I used to jump up and try to grab your hand with my mouth. I would even try to herd them by nipping at their pant legs. But like I said, they are teaching me not to do these things.
A few words from my foster mom: Half-Pint is fully vetted, neutered, heartworm negative and microchipped. He's on Frontline and Heartguard. He is such a great dog who just needs someone to love him. Half-Pint will require obedience training as we feel it is the best for him.
Half-Pint is currently located in Hampton, VA. For more information on him contact his foster mom at Jennifer@rescueminpins.com .
