Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed. Age: 3 years Size: 12 lbs Estimated breed: Dachshund/Miniature Pinscher mix Compatible with: Dogs, older/gentle kids, dog-savvy cats (he's learning not to chase kitties but is not aggressive) From my foster: Mika loves to cuddle and dig into blankets. He was somewhat fearful when meeting new people, but once his trust is earned, he’s a happy, lovable guy. He is not at all leash trained, but we are working on it using a harness and praise! He loves hanging out outside in the fenced in yard and sunbathing on the couch. Mika and eight of his friends were confiscated from a home in SC. Our community stepped up and helped us identify foster families for all nine dogs, so they are now safe in our foster care in Pennsylvania and seeking forever homes! Mika is 3 years old and weighs 12 lbs. He is a super sweet little boy who bonds quickly to his people. His preferred day is cuddling on the couch with his person and a few short walks or playtimes in the yard. Mika enjoys the company of other dogs after he gets to know them, but can be nervous when first meeting new canine friends. A slow approach and low-key dogs willing to let Mika get to know them on his terms is perfect! He shares his foster home with a cat as well, who he does not bother. Mika is a candidate for living with older children who understand being gentle with small dogs. To adopt Mika, please apply on our website! .nirvanaanimalrescue/adoption-application Please note, we cannot guarantee the age or breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training. Mika's adoption fee is $350, which covers his neuter, vaccines, monthly prevention, and microchip. PA Kennel License #18366

Breed overview
Overview:
The Doxie-Pin, a charming designer breed, is a delightful mix of the feisty Miniature Pinscher and the long-bodied Dachshund. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of both parents, these small to medium-sized dogs typically sport a sleek, short coat that can vary in color, often inheriting the Dachshund's elongated body with the Min Pin's alert expression and strong, athletic build. Temperamentally, Doxie-Pins are known for being energetic, intelligent, and often quite playful, though they can also exhibit a degree of stubbornness from their Dachshund lineage. They are generally good with families and can adapt well to apartment living provided they receive sufficient daily exercise and mental stimulation. Owners should be aware of potential health concerns inherited from their parent breeds, such as intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) due to their longer backs, and patellar luxation, making regular veterinary check-ups important for their long-term well-being.
