Story
Kobe is a 5 y/o Min Pin, he is reactive and anxious (fearful) but very intelligent, loving and stubborn. Unfortunately does have human bite history. House and leash trained but has very high energy and loves to pull here and there. He is vocal (will tell you and show you h hungry/thirsty), very food and toy motivated, knows many commands sit/stay, take/leave it, lay down/off, go pee/poop, hug, etc. Overall he’s very sweet, cuddle bug, great companion, loves runs, swimming, hiking and with the right person he’ll walk off-leash after a bit of training with him, re-call needs more work. Good with pets (introduce first in calm environment). His reactivity started progressing from 3 y/o after an abuse incident with a family member, we’ve been working with him as much as we can but after his neuter we noticed he started getting aggressive. He needs professional training (costly), a lot of patience, maybe a dog who is great with others and lots of time with exercise and mental stimulation.

Nuppie is an approximately 14 year old, 15 pound miniature pinscher mix.  This hilarious little senior gentleman is searching for an active walking buddy and a loving best friend. Don’t let his age fool you, Nuppie is happy to clock 2–3 miles a day and would love a human who enjoys getting out and about. When he’s not strutting his stuff, Nuppie is all about the good life: long naps tucked under his blanket, mealtime (a favorite!), and hanging out with his people. He’s great with other dogs and people, fully potty trained, and has a nice balance of independence and good manners—he listens when it counts. Nuppie is a small pup with a big personality who is guaranteed to keep you smiling. Could he be your perfect walking and snuggling companion? He is microchipped and up to date on all his vaccines. Her adoption fee is $200. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption.   Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog.

Believed to be a Miniature Pinscher/Terrier mix.  Frieda has the softest fur, velvety ears, and the kind of sweet eyes that melt you on contact. She’s a total sweetheart who adores cuddling just as much as she loves playtime. After a good burst of zoomies, she’s happiest curled up beside you or resting her head in your lap for a cozy nap. This girl is social and friendly, she does well with other dogs, kids, and even cats. She may chase the kitties in a playful “please be my friend!” kind of way, but her barking has already decreased as she’s settled in and learned the routine. Frieda is still very much a young pup, which means she’s full of enthusiasm and learning every day. She’s working on keeping all four paws on the floor when she gets excited and is making progress with gentle guidance. Because she can get a little jumpy and mouthy during play, she’d do best with kids who understand puppy manners and can help her continue learning. She’s potty trained, uses a dog door like a pro, and already knows commands like sit and come. She loves being outside, is learning to fetch, and absolutely lives for squeaky toys and puzzle toys — especially if treats are involved. Sniffing out hidden goodies is one of her special talents! On walks, Frieda is eager to explore and meet everyone she sees. She does pull on leash right now, but she’s a smart girl and would thrive with continued training. Like many young dogs, Frieda is also a champion chewer. She’ll need plenty of sturdy toys and supervision to help her make good choices (and keep shoes and sprinklers safe!). With structure, exercise, and consistency, she’ll continue blossoming into an amazing companion. Frieda would love an active home with a yard, lots of playtime, and a family excited to help her grow. In return, she’ll give you endless affection, entertainment, and the very best snuggles. If you’re looking for a playful best friend with a cuddly side, Frieda might just be your girl! She is microchipped and up to date on all his vaccines. Her adoption fee is $300. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption.   Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs,   vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies.
