My personality

Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

I’ve had him since he was just 8 weeks old, and for the past 9 years I’ve been his only owner. He was born on 12/18/2016 and is a purebred Miniature Pinscher with a big personality and an even bigger heart.

He can be aggressive at times, mostly because he’s very protective and slow to trust, but once he bonds with you, he loves deeply and loyally. He is devoted to his person and takes his role as protector very seriously.

Rehoming him is incredibly hard, but I want what’s best for him and a home that can give him the patience, structure, and understanding he needs. He’s not just a pet — he’s family, and I want to make sure his next home sees the loving, loyal dog behind the tough exterior.

Forever loved, always my baby. 🐾
