Story
Meet Lenny!
Lenny is an adorable 5-month-old Maltipoo puppy who came to Small Dog Rescue as an owner surrender. Weighing 6.2 pounds, he’s a little ball of fluffy cuteness with the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and sweet snuggles. Lenny is loving life and discovering the world one day at a time.
Lenny enjoys being outdoors, romping in the snow, playing with toys (especially squeaky ones), and playing with his foster brother. A fenced in yard is required and SDR would prefer the adopter has another small dog for Lenny to play with.
He is off to a great start with training and daily routines. Lenny sleeps through the night in his crate and often puts himself in his crate for naps. He is potty trained, does well walking on a leash, and enjoys learning. He already knows basic commands such as “sit.” Lenny does well meeting new people and other dogs but has not yet been introduced to cats.
Like all puppies, Lenny will do best with an adopter who understands the time, training, and structure required during these early months. He is a wiggly, energetic puppy and his breed requires regular brushing and grooming (every 6-8 weeks). Must be willing to continue helping him stay calm and cooperative during both of these.
Lenny is an adaptable little guy who could thrive in a home with children, other pets, or as an only dog. The most important thing is a family committed to providing a consistent routine, ongoing training, playtime, and plenty of affection.
Lenny will need to complete his neuter with Small Dog Rescue at the end of January, after which he can be officially adopted. Neuter will take place at a veterinarian clinic located in the Rochester MN area.
Adoption fee is $400.
- You must fill out an adoption application before you are allowed to meet the animal. Please complete the adoption application located on our website: https://smalldogsminnesota.org/adoption-application/
- Small Dog Rescue of MN does not negotiate the adoption fee on our dogs and we must charge sales tax on all adoption fees in order to comply with Minnesota state law. Please note that SDR is philosophically opposed to the idea of buying and selling animals, and we support any future legislation that would remove sales tax from adoption fees. Until then, however, it must be charged.
- Please note that we do not have a shelter, and all dogs are in foster homes. Since we strive to provide the best possible care for our animals, sometimes we cannot answer emails promptly. Please allow 48 hours for us to respond to you.
- You must be 18 years of age to make an adoption request.
