Miniature Pinscher Rat Terrier

Chaska, MN
Size

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Adoption Fee: $460, plus tax Location: Foster Home Pippin was found in a good Samaritans yard one day with no tags and no chips. Not having seen him before, the finders spend the afternoon and evening walking him around to the neighbors to see if anyone knew where he had come from! After hanging on to him for the 10 day stray hold, Pippin came to us, and is now looking for his forever home. Pippin has been evaluated by a behaviorist due to his tendency to people guard and his leash aggressiveness. He has taken great strides with the help of Giffy Dog Training and his foster, who has been dedicated to help Pippin reduce his stress level. Once Pippin gets comfortable with a person, he becomes a ride or die! Pippin is in need of a single dog home who can keep up with the training that is needed for him to become the best dog. If you are interested in learning more about Pippin, fill out an application at www.carverscotths.org

Minnie

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 6 mos
Chaska, MN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Adoption Fee: $460, plus tax (FOSTER to ADOPT ONLY, please read!) Location: Foster Home Minnie has the most expressive eyes and is a nice, petite size. Minnie LOVES her humans. She is very tuned into pleasing her humans and is very attentive to the tone of voice and watches her humans closely. She loves her belly rubs, this is one of her favorite "activities", she is friendly to all humans she encouters. She knows a "sit" command and is very food motivated. She walks well on a leash and is mostly potty trained. She sleeps well through the night and does well in a kennel. She loves humans more than other dogs. But she gets along well with other dogs as long as they don't push the boundaries. She gets along with older non-dominant dogs. She would thrive in a home as a single pet or with other non-dominant dog. She hasn't been cat tested, but she doesn't have prey drive with chickens, which is a good sign when it comes to felines. Medical Information on Minnie: Minnie has been diagnosed with three mast cell tumors. A mast cell tumor (MCT) is a type of malignant (cancerous) tumor consisting of mast cells. Mast cell tumors typically form nodules or masses in the skin, but they can also affect other areas of the body, including the spleen, liver, intestine, and bone marrow. MCTs are the most common skin tumor in dogs (7%-21%). Most dogs with MCT (approximately 85%) only develop one tumor. Carver Scott Humane Society will have the three tumors removed prior to finalizing Minnie's adoption. Minnie can be adopted as a foster-to-adopt as CSHS will be covering the expense of the mass removal(s). CSHS is wanting to be completely transparent with protentional adopters regarding Minnie's medical history. Minnie still has a lot of life to live and deserves a forever home of her own. Continued monitoring of previous or new lumps/bumps with the adopter's regular veterinarian is highly recommended. If you are interested in meeting Minnie, please fill out an application on the Carver Scott Humane Society website today!
