Story
Meet Lily and Scarlett, a delightful 9-year-old Miniature Pinscher duo. These loving ladies have been cherished by their owner since they were puppies. However, due to health challenges, their owner is now seeking a new home where they can continue to thrive together. Lily and Scarlett are small, gentle dogs (around 10 lbs each) who adore snuggling under blankets in their crate. They’re unbothered by storms or fireworks and are well-mannered, with no chewing habits. While they prefer a calm, low-key lifestyle over high-energy play, they do enjoy regular potty breaks, making them a great fit for a home where someone is available to take them out every few hours. If you’re looking for cuddly companions and are ready to welcome both Lily and Scarlett into your life, they could be the perfect addition to your family. Interested in adopting?

Story
Min pin mixes. 6 yrs, approx 15 lbs, Beckham and Cooper were adopted as puppies and returned to us as adults. They are now 6 yrs old. They were returned because the couple was having a baby. The boys have been with us since and are boarded in a Cagefree facility. After only being with each other for 6 years, we decided to socialize them a little with other dogs. They are happy and doing great. They love to go on long walks and hikes. They are calm dogs who can be playful. They just need a house with a yard and lots of love. They have been together since puppyhood and we would like to try to keep them together. It also makes it easy for a new home transition. Come and meet them!!!

Adoptions are held every SATURDAY from 1PM – 4PM at the PETCO at 8161 BEVERLY BLVD at La Jolla (1/2 mile east of Beverly Center). Plenty of parking!

Story
COOKIE is a lovely adult-to-senior girl, 12 pounds, Miniature Pinscher whose senior human dad passed away, leaving Cookie and her four little companions, Shorty, Millie, Poopsy, and Missy, without their dad. They all get along really well, are house trained, and also know to use pads to do their business indoors, at night, and when it's raining or very cold out. Cookie's late dad probably did not realize that Cookie's left eye was swollen and didn't look right. We don't know exactly what happened to it, but veterinarians are thinking it was untreated uveitis leading to glaucoma that was no longer treatable with medicines. So poor Cookie had to have an enucleation--eye removal. We don't think her other eye was or will ever be involved as we don't know what was the underlying cause. It could have been injury to the eye rather than a systemic problem. Cookie can often be found burrowed in a blanket, and when we arrive starts to dig herself out! None of the pups appear to be serious barkers, only barking to warn that someone is at or near the front door, and then they settle down again. They are great with cats, because they were housemate with six (6) cats! If shown a lot of affection and understanding when welcomed into their new homes, we are sure these lovely kiddos will do well in loving new homes even when they won’t be staying together. IMPORTANT NOTE: Recently the number of deaths from hungry coyote attacks has greatly increased. Coyotes can climb 10 foot fences with a small to medium sized dog in their jaws. This happens in broad daylight in the middle of the day, and on trails while hiking with your dog on a leash, it is truly unbelievable, and we have frightening first-hand accounts. We are listing these lovely pups to help their current foster in finding them wonderful new homes. All four girl pups are spayed, Shorty is neutered, and all of them current on vaccines. To learn more about Cookie (or Shorty, Millie, Poopsy, and Missy), please contact us at: theanimalsleftbehind@socal.rr.com (also our PayPal email for donations and sponsorships).

Story
HENRIETTE-URGENT-Sponsorship: Henriette is awaiting life-saving specialty surgery or radiation treatment (preferred) to remove a tumor on her thyroid gland. It is not malignant but causes an extremely high thyroid count. We were told that if it is not removed Henriette could die. Our regular veterinarians won’t do the surgery and referred us to several specialists for this very delicate surgery or equally difficult radiation which will cost $12,000 to $14,000. Even with an added 15% rescue discount, it is more money than we can ever raise. We have found a way to suppress the high thyroid count and it looks like it’s working, and requires daily medication and supplements. We are seeking help. We have run out of funds. We have spent over $2000 for all her diagnostics—specialty ultrasounds, blood panels, cardiology assessment at MASH, urinalysis and other needed tests, medications, holistic treatments and supplements which we are hoping will help. Henriette is also on expensive "Just Food For Dogs", and human grade food, is fed several times a day, and gets a whole host of supplements and vitamins. The Nature Network Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit, and we will provide a donation receipts for tax deductions. We rescued Henriette from the Orange County Animal Shelter, where she was out of time and living her final days. Henriette loves her doggy playmates and they and we would miss Hen terribly so we are doing everything humanely possible to keep her going, pain free of course. Henriette is spayed and current on her vaccinations. For more information about HENRIETTE, and if you or someone you know can help her, please contact us: theanimalsleftbehind@socal.rr.com (Also our PayPal donation/sponsorship email address)

Allen is a super sweet pup that is 2 years old and 8 pounds. He was brought into Kern County shelter as a stray in Los Angeles. He was terrified in the shelter environment and displayed aggressive behaviors so ended up on the euthanasia list. Once pulled, he settled into his foster home very quickly and has been nothing but sweet! He does great in a home and can't wait to meet his forever family!

Miss Coco is a love bug! She is chipin, smart and very affectionate. She will be a great addition to active family. She is little bit overweight and needs a lot of exercising which is also really great for retired owner/couple to achieve the same goals - stay healthy and happy. Please, request real photos.

Please fill out an application to start the process to meet FLETCH. Meet and greets will be held in PORTER RANCH, CA https://pawsitivetailstoremember.forms-db.com/view.php?id=17980 FLETCH is 6 years old, he weighs 7 lbs, and he is a male MinPin/Chihuahua mix. Fletch has a very soft and sleek, short haired tri-colored coat that will require minimal grooming. Fletch is lapdog who loves to cuddle; he will follow you all around and he really loves his naps! Fletch loves being outdoors where he enjoys sunning himself; he loves chicken and has some crate training. Fletch will find joy in being the center of your attention and while he enjoys his walks, he doesn’t like going for long distances so if you are looking for a hiking partner, he is not your dog. Lol. Fletch’s perfect home will consist of a yard that he can run around and explore in, a home with an owner who will be working from home, or a family or singleton looking for a great companion with no more than one other small dog in the home. Fletch would also be completely happy as an only dog in the home! This cutie is current on vaccines, microchipped and is neutered. Will you be his new family?

Miniature Pinscher fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Miniature Pinscher is often confused with the Manchester Terrier.

The term pinscher is used to describe how the dogs catch their prey. They typically pounce on prey and bite it fiercely, like a hard pinch.

The Min Pin has what's known as a hackney gait, which means he trots like a horse.
