Here's what the humans have to say about me:
**Think this dog might be for you? The first step is to complete an application: http://www.mominpinrescue.org/p/adoption-application_30.html
We do not arrange transport for our dogs. If your application is approved, you will be required to come to us to pick up your dog.**
Shorty is located in the Dallas area of Texas. He is about 1 year old and weighs 16 pounds. We think he is probably a Min Pin - Chihuahua mix. He is very shy and still decompressing from his time in the shelter. He likes to hide under the bed but does fine with the other dogs in the home. We think he would be okay with older children.
As nervous as he is, he really would do best in a securely fenced yard. He does fine in his crate, and comes and goes when he wants to. It will take him a little time to warm up to his new people, but we believe that it won't be hard for him to adjust to a patient family.
He loves to play with toys! He is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and on preventative. His adoption fee is $300.
