Description
Dog Breed: Miniature Pinscher (short coat). Poka is an adult female min pin recently surrendered to the shelter through no fault of her own. She enjoys being held but is also very independent when hanging in the yard. She would benefit from a diet to shed a few pounds and deserves a new forever family so that her shelter stay is a short one! All Perth Amboy Animal Shelter residents will be fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. You must be 23 or older to adopt from the shelter, complete an Adoption Application and pay the associated adoption fee. The application must be approved by the shelter staff and all adoptions are finalized based on the best interests of our animals. Come visit us Monday - Friday between 10am and 4pm and Saturday/Sunday from 10am - 3pm. Contact us at (732) 324-3877 and don't forget to ask about our Foster Program!

Overview:
The Miniature Pinscher, often affectionately called "Min Pin," is a small, elegant breed originating from Germany, where it was bred to hunt vermin. Despite its resemblance to a small Doberman, the two breeds are distinct. Physically, Min Pins are characterized by their sleek, short coats, typically black, red, or chocolate with rust markings, and their alert, high-stepping gait, earning them the nickname "King of Toys." They possess a confident, curious, and often bold temperament, embodying a big dog personality in a compact package. While they are energetic and require regular exercise, their small size makes them well-suited for apartment living, provided they receive adequate mental and physical stimulation. They can be good family pets, especially with older children who understand how to interact with a smaller, more delicate dog. Prospective owners should be aware of potential health issues such as patellar luxation and progressive retinal atrophy. Overall, the Min Pin is a lively, intelligent companion for those seeking an active and spirited small dog.
