My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi everyone. I am Reggie, a 2 yr old, 16 lb, male Miniature Pinscher who, along with Nash, was surrendered by my owner who could no longer care for us. During the past couple of months we have been confined to a crate in a basement where we were largely ignored. When HAL took us in we were filthy, covered in fleas, our nails were very long and we hadn't been walked or even taken outside in several weeks. Sometimes losing your home is the best thing that can happen to you.
My spirits have soared since my rescue. I am a very affectionate and happy-go-lucky guy who loves my people with every ounce of my being. Getting belly rubs and head scratches are just about my favorite things in the world. Just about - but not quite. What's better than affection? FOOD! I love it. All of it. I will eat just about anything and everything I can get my paws on. Spill something on the floor and don't want to bend all the way down to pick it up? No problem, I will take care of it. Can't finish your dinner and don't want to walk all the way to the garbage can to throw it out? No worries, I am here to help. Yet another benefit of my food obsession is that I am very easy to train. I have know how to "sit", "shake a paw" and "clean up that food spill" (actually I taught myself that last trick).
I am a very well behaved and obedient boy but do have my mischevious moments (like squeezing through a baby gate). Despite my food obsession, I don't beg for food. ‎And while I love chewing on treats and toys I would never think of chewing on the furniture or electrical cords. One of my more impressive talents is that I can jump very high and will do so when I see you have my leash in your hand. I love walks and need at least 2, twenty to thirty minute walks a day to satisfy my exercise needs. When I am walked with Nash, we seem to wind each other up and bark at other dogs we meet. When I am walked alone I am considerably calmer and less barky, although I am still not playful or friendly with dogs I don't know. I can certainly live with another dog, as I do with Nash now, but I will chase cats so can't live well with them. I am wary of small children so a home with older or no kids would be best for me.
Other than a stress related skin problem that is being treated by a vet, I am in excellent health, am housetrained, neutered, microchipped and up to date on my vaccinations. My adoption fee is $450. If you want to adopt both Nash and me our combined adoption fee is $800.
