MICHAEL - MINIATURE PINSCHER / DACHSHUND / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Miniature Pinscher / Dachshund / Mixed (medium coat). Michael is a very sweet but timid min pin/doxy born approx 11/5/23. He really, really wants to be loved, but has to remember his bravery each time. He comes close and then scooches on his belly towards you for some neck scratches and tummy rubs. He truly is the sweetest boy who loves it when you throw his stuffies and play with him. He can be very energetic when he’s in a playful mood, but is just as happy to curl up and nap in a quiet spot. He is skittish and still learning that all humans can be friends, but given time and patience, his courage and personality shine. He is very submissive and often flops onto his back as he approaches. He does well with other dogs, a little wary of larger ones at first, and would benefit greatly from having another similarly sized friend to take cues from or being in a home where someone is always around. He’s almost there on potty training and will use his crate willingly. He prefers the door to stay open if someone is around, so he can choose where he wants to be. He does well with children, but until his bravery develops, he’s more comfortable around older kids who may give him the space he needs to open up. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $575.00
