My story

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

**The first step to adopting from MO Min Pin Rescue, is to complete the online adoption application. A good vet reference and heartworm prevention are required.

We do not arrange transport, and you will be responsible for coming to us to get your dog.

PJ needs an experienced adopter!!! He does seem to prefer men, but his trainer is a woman and he got along fine with her. He has gone through a series of training classes. Is he all better? No. Will he never bite again? We can't guarantee that.

PJ came from a shelter where he found himself after his human passed away. He bit the transport driver badly enough to require medical attention. He bit his first foster dad, who is basically a dog whisperer. That foster asked that we move him to a different foster. He has also bitten his current foster and bit the vet tech. They had to put him under to give him his vaccinations. Long story short, he's got a nasty reputation. We decided to take him through several weeks of training to see if it would help. He graduated from training now. He's better, but he is going to need a special home!

Just to be completely transparent, here.

He is about 5 years old, but we don't know that for sure. He has been vaccinated, neutered, has had a dental, and is microchipped. He is fine with other dogs, and okay with cats. Absolutely no homes with children.

He is located in the St. Louis area. His adoption fee is $275.00.
