Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Our handsome boy, Popcornm is a debonair fellow who would charm any adopter. He recently joined us from an overcrowded Animal Control facility where he spent some time after he was found as a stray in a sketchy urban neighborhood. Popcorn was in pretty good shape when he was found, and it appeared that he had been someone's beloved pet. After all efforts were made to find his owner, nobody came to claim him.
Although Popcorn received excellent behavior evaluations, he seemed to show signs of depression as he adjusted to shelter life. He was overwhelmed and overshadowed in the Shelter adoption program. In a short time, he caught the shelter kennel cough and was relegated to the euthanasia list. We are happy that our shelter contacts rerouted him to our Rescue.
Popcorn is a robust red Miniature Pinscher with a stance and carriage that screams "King of the Toys". Popcorn is a big boy, for a Min Pin, who weighs 14 pounds. His short flat coat is reddish brown, with a smattering of gray on his muzzle, that reveals an 8 to 9 year age range. As an older dog, Popcorn is well past the puppy mayhem stage.
We think that Popcorn would most enjoy a quiet lifestyle with an adult single or couple, who loves lap dog companionship. Popcorn tends to steer clear of chaos, and would not be a good fit for a busy family bursting with kids. He is a moderate to low energy dog, and likes to relax by the fire or nap in his person's lap during TV or Book time. He's relatively quiet for a Min Pin, and would be the perfect apartment dog. Popcorn could easily join a multi-dog home with one or two other laid back dogs or cats, but would be overwhelmed by large, high energy dogs. He has a calm vibe, and could be a comforting companion to a senior dog, who recently lost a beloved house mate.
Popcorn has good house manners, and is house trained, crate trained and can easily be persuaded to use a wee wee pad in inclement weather. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during his transition to a new home.
Popcorn is in excellent health, and is at a lean body weight. He is recently neutered, and has had a dental cleaning. His preoperative bloodwork was normal, and provides the adopter with baseline values going forward. He has been vaccinated for Rabies, DHLPPC (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvo, parainfluenza and coronavirus), He has been boostered as needed. He has had the 4dx test: negative for heartworm, lyme, earlichia and anaplasmosis. He has been dewormed, and microchipped. He has been on appropriate heartworm and flea/tick preventatives.
