Story
Ace is about a year old. He lived a good chunk of the first 10 months of his life completely outdoors before I took him in. So he's not very well socialized or trained. But he is very good about letting you know he has to potty so he is house trained. Right now we're working on Crate and Obedience training. He loves squeaky toys and especially balls, but be careful, he will eat anything plush--including tennis balls. He comes with a huge metal crate, all his toys, leashes, harness, etc, and if you adopt quickly an unopened 44lb bag of food plus what's left of the other 44lb bag.When I'm puttering around the house, he's very good. He'll play on his own or follow me around. He's a definitely a velcro dog. He wants to be nearby, even if you're busy. He is just the sweetest land seal, if a bit ornery.

Story
Chase is an 11-year-old Beagle Chihuahua mix. My sister (the parent) is sadly agreeing to surrender Chase due to her health issues and hospitalization. Chase is people friendly, but I don’t think he likes being around other dogs. He lives inside the apartment not outside in a yard. He has a history of seizures but hasn’t had one this year 2026. He is not on any medication. He has bumps on his back and tail. No open sores. Chase stopped barking one year ago when my sister moved to another apartment. He used to enjoy looking out the large window but there are no large windows in the new apartment. Likes to play outside but doesn’t get a chance to run around because of apartment rules and no doggy park nearby. His mood now is sad, lonely. Chase lives by himself but is fed once a day mostly, sometimes twice daily and fresh water dailyI pray that Chase could be with someone that would love him, feed him, Selter him inside, give him snacks and has a fenced-in backyard so he can run around

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 pick up your dog. Adoption Application link: https://www.mominpinrescue.org/p/adoption-application_30.html ** Chippy is about a year and a half old. His weight this week, when he was neutered, was nine pounds. As is true with a lot of Chihuahuas, he can take a minute to warm up to new people and places, but he will be your buddy for life once he gets to know you. He is fine with other dogs, but has not been kid- or cat-tested. He is located in St. Louis, and his adoption fee is $275.

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 ** Lil Bit is a very sweet Min Pin mix. She was picked up as a stray during some very cold weather. She had a couple of mammary tumors, one of which was ruptured. They have been surgically removed now, and she has healed nicely! She is estimated to be about nine years old and weighs 21 pounds. She has been vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. She is fine with other dogs but has not been tested with kids or cats. Located in St. Louis, her adoption fee is $100.

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 ** Tupac's human had to go into assisted living, and he found himself without a home to call his own. He is an 8-year-old neutered male with a winning personality. He loves everyone he meets. He gets along fine with other dogs, but would do well as an only child, too. He is very curious about cats, and if they run, Tupac would probably give chase. He walks well on a leash and loves going on walks. He is fully vetted, including vaccinations and a microchip. He is in St. Louis, and his adoption fee is $275.
