Miniature Pinscher puppies and dogs in Groton, Connecticut

Bane is a 7-month-old Min Pin mix weighing about 28 pounds, and he’s as sweet as they come! This little guy loves everyone he meets and has the perfect mix of puppy playfulness and gentle affection. He’s potty and crate trained, good with both big and little dogs, and is already showing how smart and well-mannered he’ll be as he grows. Bane enjoys cuddling up close after a good romp outside, happily soaking up all the love and attention he can get. He does get a little car sick, so short rides and time to adjust will help him out. Whether he’s chasing toys or snuggling on the couch, Bane’s kind spirit and lovable personality make him the perfect companion for a lucky family ready to give him a forever home.

Little body. Legendary ears. Big life energy. The kind of dog that makes you stop mid-scroll and has you saying, "okay I need to know more." The name is Koji Scout and he was born for adventures! He’s always ready to go places, do things, and see what’s next. Toss him in the car? He’s in. New trail, new town, new plan? Koji’s already packed (mentally). He rides great, travels easy, and is basically a future camping dog just waiting for his first official campfire nap. See him in action and watch his video! You might have just found your trailmate for life: https://youtu.be/mg69klAd-b8?si=0sNwZcQhs1MiaWVV Koji Scout is believed to be a Miniature Pinscher mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 30lbs. His name even hints at his little stature. He may be small in size, but his presence, spirit, and personality is larger than life. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. He’s smart-smart knows tons of tricks, learns fast, and actually wants to work with you. Training him is fun, not a chore. And when playtime hits? Watch out. He’s very dog-friendly and absolutely lives for a good game of chase. He’s quick, he’s agile, and he knows it. Koji would love to have a play mate in his forever home. A friend that loves to play chase, gentle with physical type play, enjoys exploring as well, and appreciates those relaxing moments as well. Koji would also be completely fine being the only dog in the home as well. He loves people and has so much love to give. Best part? When the adventure is over, Koji is happy to snuggle up and soak in the love. Affectionate, cuddly, and loyal, what more can you ask for? Koji is the total package! He’s looking for a semi-active family who wants a dog that can keep up, but also chill hard afterward. He go hard for adventures, but even harder for cuddles! Koji has potential to thrive in an apartment/condo or a home with a backyard. All he asks is that you satisfy that little explorer heart of his. We know, it sounds repetitive, Koji has such an adventurous heart that we want him to find that in his forever home. We are willing to test Koji Scout with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Tangent is a precious senior girl, approximately 10 years old, currently in foster care through the Town of Thompson. She came to us as an owner surrender when her previous owner could no longer provide the care she needed. Despite everything she’s been through, Tangent remains incredibly loving, gentle, and full of heart. Upon intake in October, Tangent required immediate medical attention for bilateral chronic ear infections and Lyme disease, both of which have been treated. Further evaluation revealed that she also needs dental care, with an estimated cost of $1,500, to help her live comfortably and pain-free. Tangent is truly a gem — great with kids, cats, and everyone she meets. She has the sweetest personality and the most adorable little dance when she walks that’s guaranteed to make you smile. 💃🐾 This sweet girl deserves a warm home, soft bed, and a future free from pain. She’s given nothing but love, and now she’s hoping for someone to give her a second chance at the happy, healthy life she deserves. 💗 Let’s help Tangent find her forever home and the care she needs. Every share, donation, and kind word helps make that possible.

He’s eager to learn, soaking up new skills, and proudly showing off just how smart he is. His confidence is blossoming, and it’s a joy to watch him come into his own. Lil Mac thrives in a calm, cozy home where he can relax and feel safe being himself. Once you earn his trust, you’ll have a devoted snuggle buddy for life—loyal, loving, and happiest curled up right by your side. He’s been cat-tested and does wonderfully with feline friends, too!
