My story

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

Papi is a 4-year-old purebred  Miniature Pinche r and is 6.5 pounds of sweetness. When Papi was 1 day old his mother bit part of his nose off. The breeder in Missouri could not sell him so his life became one of being shoved from kennel to kennel to breed. He was sold on two secondary auctions and was in a breeding compound in Oklahoma when he was bought and shipped to San Antonio. He was an intact male in a household of intact female Min Pins. He was quite loud and after a year they asked if we would take him into rescue. With time and all vetting completed to include a dental he has calmed down. He loves his little bed on the couch and often found sleeping with a small Chihuahua named Davey. He is noisy during mealtimes but eats politely in his kennel. He also sleeps well in his kennel. Papi is still shy coming out of his kennel as he has had years of fear to overcome.  He moves to the back of the kennel and turns his back. He is learning not to run and cower when we need to pick him up. He never goes far and has never been aggressive. He is housebroken. His adoption fee is $350. If interested, please submit application from website www.poquitapawsrescue.org.
