He is shy and may nip when meeting new people, but with patience and gentle reassurance, he warms up beautifully. But because of his fearfulness, he would do best in a home with no children. Bandito is the kind of dog who just needs someone willing to help him build his confidence so he can shine. He enjoys playing, staying active, and spending time with dogs his own size. Once he feels safe, his sweet, goofy charm comes out—and it’s impossible not to fall for him. Bandito is ready for a loving home that will give him the time, encouragement, and affection he deserves.  Please help us make room to save more homeless pets!!! Adopting from Hope Rescues saves the life of two.. the one you adopt and the one your adoption makes room for. We are a Rescue which means we physically go and save lives. Hope pulls animals on their last day of life from animal control facilities that still use the inhumane gas chamber to put to death homeless pets.

Story
**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. Adoption Application link: https://www.mominpinrescue.org/p/adoption-application_30.html ** ChiChi is a tiny Chihuahua. At her last vet visit, she weighed a whopping 3.8 pounds. Her age is estimated to be about 10 years old, but we were told 8 when we first got her. She had a complete blood work-up, and it came back great! Since being with us, she has had all of her vaccinations, a heartworm test, and she was spayed. She also had a mammary tumor removed. The pathology report stated that the tumor is benign. Of course, she will need to be watched in the future for any recurring lumps and bumps. She also had a dental and has lost all of her teeth! She is about 90% house trained, but a learning curve should be expected. ChiChi is a really good little girl and gets along with other dogs and kids. She is located in St. Louis, and her adoption fee is $275.

Story
Tango is a gentle 9-year-old terrier mix weighing just 12 pounds, with a heart that craves love and connection—on his own terms. He adores attention and affection and is happiest when his person sits nearby, talks to him, and showers him with gentle love. While he isn’t a lapdog, Tango enjoys being close and feeling included. Tango also appreciates his independence and likes having time to himself. He’s perfectly content relaxing quietly on his own, making him a great match for a calm household that respects his need for personal space. He enjoys life’s simple pleasures: going outside and laying in the sun, chewing on bully sticks and other chewies, and playing with toys—especially ones that make noise or have squeakers. Tango would enjoy regular walks and, as long as he’s walked frequently and monitored on a leash, he does not require a fenced yard. He should not be left unsupervised outside. Tango gets along well with other dogs, particularly those his own size, and would do well in a home with or without other dogs. He’s happy sharing space but doesn’t demand constant interaction. At night, Tango snuggles into his comfy doggie bed in his foster mom’s bedroom and sleeps quietly through the night. While other dogs may climb into the big bed, Tango prefers his own cozy spot—comforted simply by knowing his person is nearby. With his peaceful temperament, gentle affection, and independent streak, Tango would thrive in a quiet, loving home where companionship is balanced with respect for his space. If you’re looking for a sweet senior dog who offers calm devotion without being clingy, Tango is ready to find his forever home. Tango is neutered, up to date on all his vaccinations, is heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative. He’s had a dental, is microchipped and dewormed. Tango’s adoption fee is $300. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging transport. WE DO NOT SHIP DOGS. If you're looking for a very sweet and lovable little guy to join your family, please fill out an application on AAP’s website.
