Miniature Pinscher puppies and dogs in New Haven, Connecticut

Meet Reese 🍫🐾 If you have ever wished for a tiny dog who believes with his whole heart that he belongs directly in your lap, please allow us to introduce Reese. Reese is an approximately 2 year old Min Pin mix, about 14 pounds of pure affection. He is a former Dog Pound pup who is now ready to find his forever home and his forever lap. Reese is up to date on vaccinations, 4DX negative, and will be having his “Reese’s Puffs”; removed next week. After that, he will be officially cleared for adoption. He is dog friendly with careful introductions and seems to prefer other small dogs. To set him up for success, Reese should be fed separately from other dogs in the home. Fair enough, some of us take our snacks very seriously too. With people, Reese is an absolute love bug. He adores humans of all shapes and sizes and would happily spend his days being held, cuddled, and reminded that he is perfect. Personal space is optional in Reese’s world.

Is receiving flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention monthly. House trained/Crate Trained: Noah is excellent in a crate. He has been with foster since 8 weeks old. He has not ever had an accident in his crate. He uses a doggy door and only has issues going out in heavy rain. Dogs/Cats/Children: Noah is living with dogs of all sizes and ages, and everyone is friendly. He has been around young children and does well. He is a jumper and we are working on that. Noah has not been observed around cats but can be tested upon request. Energy Level: Basically he has typical puppy energy. He loves toys and to play with others. Before FAR/My History: I was 1 of 2 puppies being given away at a flea market. This gentleman and his friend each took one of us. Only problem is the gentleman that took me could not have dogs. Through a friend he met my foster mom who fosters for FAR. She tells me all the time I hit the jackpot!

Working on: We are working on walking on a leash and being a good friend to all my friends. Things I like: Playing with any sort of toys! LOVES playing with other dogs. Things I don’t like: Going out to potty in storms or heavy rain. Things that make my humans happy: When I get a lot of playtime and I am all tuckered out, and snuggling with my foster mom! He seems to just love and want to be around people all the time! Ideal Family/Home: Noah is a very smart little guy, he picks up on things quickly. He is active and playful but sleeps well when everyone else naps. Sleeps in a crate and sleeps a good 7-8 hours nightly with no accidents. He would probably do great with any playmate.

This adorable little girl is Foxy. She is a one-year-old miniature pinscher mix and weighs 13 lb. Foxy came to DAWS from one of our Southern partners and when she arrived, we discovered she was pregnant! She had five adorable puppies that are thriving. While Foxy did an amazing job raising her puppies, it is time she finds her own forever home. Foxy is a sweet, energetic and playful girl. She loves affection and someone to throw a toy for her. While she does have a lot of energy, she also enjoys curling up next to her family. Foxy is housetrained and walks nicely on a leash. Foxy would do best in a home with teens and up. She does well with other dogs. Foxy is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and healthy. Her adoption fee is $400. Foxy is at a foster home, not at our shelter. If you would like to meet/adopt Foxy, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-online-adoption-application/. Email daws@daws.org with questions. Foxy can't wait to meet you!

Felix is an approximately 3 &1/2 year-old male min-pin who comes to PAWS from a CT animal control where he was picked up as stray. Felix is a friendly little guy who enjoys meeting new people and is good around other dogs. Felix can be a bit of a resource guarder and requires an adopter who will be a confident leader with him and continue with his crate training. As long as Felix's food and toys are confined to his crate and he is not allowed up on the couch, he does amazingly well. Felix was adopted earlier this year and did wonderfully with his new mom. He was just settling in and fully letting his guard down when she suddenly uprooted him and moved into a new shared residence. This raised his anxiety levels and resulted in a bite when a man he had never met invaded his space. His owner then panicked and abandoned him at a local animal control. Despite this sad turn of events, Felix was happy to greet all of his old friends at PAWS. He loves going on walks with all of our volunteers and playing in the yard. His training at his prior home has actually helped him immensely as we have not seen much resource guarding since we took him back. Although he plays well with other dogs, due to his resource guarding, a household without another dog or cat would probably be best for him. We believe that he would also do best in a single person household so that he does not develop any guarding behavior of one person over the other. Felix is microchipped, neutered and up to date on his vaccinations.

Gideon is a 6 year old neutered male who was found as a local stray. Friendly, energetic, and sweet, Gideon is a fun dog who enjoys going on walks and romping around in the yard. He loves a good blanket and sometimes scares the staff by snuggling so deep into a comforter that we don't realize he's there! Gideon has a food allergy and will need to be on a strictly fish-based diet, but he's not picky with his food and has been more than happy with the adjustment. He could live with a dog-savvy cat and is selective about other dogs, so he may do best with a canine companion content to leave him alone. For more information on Gideon, call AWS at 860-354-1350 email animalwelfare.socty@snet.net or visit our website aws-shelter.org for an application. Adoption Fees for Adult Dogs are $400

Meet Diamond! Diamond is a 10-month-old Chihuahua mix with a heart as bright as the little diamond marking on her chest. This sweet, submissive girl is incredibly cuddly and would spend all day in your lap if she could. She settled in quickly at the rescue and showed right away how gentle, innocent, and people-loving she is. Diamond is wonderfully kid-friendly—she was comfortable interacting and playing with children from the very start, even trying to encourage them to join in her fun. She’s also been nothing but loving and polite with all the adults she’s met. This playful little pup would thrive with a toy box to rummage through, and she’d be delighted to have either a human or a dog companion to play with. Despite being young, she’s already potty trained and hasn’t had a single accident inside! If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, and outgoing companion who’s ready to give her whole heart, Diamond is your girl. ✨🐾 Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/691100a186613b0e04000cbe Questions?

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!    Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.   Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.    The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.   It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:   Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family  Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions  70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer  Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!   Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation?
