Description:
Gizmo came to us after be surrender to another family after his orginal owners had him for 9 years. Poor guy is so confused and worried but is soo sweet and loving. He isn't super crazy like many Min Pin's and seems to be at peace with other animals and people! Won't you give him a forever home?
Foster Update: Gizmo is an amazing dog. He gets along great with my other dogs of all sizes and doesn't even look twice at my cats. He is housebroken. He loves to sleep in the bed under the covers and wants to be loved all the time. His favorite past time is being pet. He doesn't chew and can be left alone in the home to run free when you are not there. He seems to love every person he runs into. Gizmo was an only dog before coming to my home and when he entered my home he did "mark" for about 24 hours. He has since stopped but any potential adopter with multiple dogs should be aware that he will do this in a new enviroment.
Foster update: Gizmo has been living for me for almost a month now and has become very attached. He loves to go with me everywhere and is highly disappointed when i can not take him with me. He still gets alone just fine with all my dogs and has done fairly well with meeting new dogs on the leash but sometimes have a little man bark attach when he isn't feeling confident in a new situation. Gizmo is doing excellent with housetraining and will hold "it" for long hours if im at work. Gizmo is an active dog for his age and would love someone whom likes to take long walks. He loves to snuggle in the bed and enjoys milling around the fenced yard. Gizmo has trouble letting his "mommy or daddy" go when they leave the house and he will bark for several minutes when you leave. He does calm down after several minutes but someone in an appartment might have trouble with noise.
Gizmo is eligible for our Seniors for Seniors discount which makes his adoption fee $75 for seniors!
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Miniature Pinscher is not related to the Doberman Pinscher, and is in fact an older breed than the Doberman. Developed in Germany from terrier breeds, including the German Pinscher, the Miniature Pinscher's original use was in hunting rats to keep the population down in the stables that it frequented. Italian Greyhound blood may have been added to produce such a tiny, high stepping-dog. The word "Pinscher" means "terrier" in German. Today the MinPin's high spirit and bright personality make him a charming companion. Some of the Miniature Pinscher's talents are competitive obedience, watchdogging, and agility. The Miniature Pinscher is a hardy little fellow that is very demanding and headstrong. This proud, overly courageous dog likes to bark. They are loyal to their masters, spirited and alert, with high energy. Intelligent, lively and brave, it is a big dog in a little dog's body. The Miniature Pinscher is moderately protective. Some can be very aggressive with other dogs, but they are generally good with other pets and children provided the children do not pester. They are rather suspicious towards strangers, but their behavior depends entirely upon how they were brought up as young pups. Don't spoil this breed too much or the dog may become a tyrant. The Miniature Pinscher can learn extremely well and wants very much to do so. It is certainly beneficial for its socialization to take the dog to puppy courses where it can meet other dogs and people. You will be amazed at how fast the Miniature Pinscher understands and obeys you. Pay particular attention when housebreaking this little Pinscher, since a little puddle from such a small dog can easily be overlooked; the dog may get the idea that you are happy to accept it fulfilling its natural needs indoors. The Miniature Pinscher is often called "King Of The Toys." Beware, this little dog will chew small objects and may choke on them. Do not overfeed this breed. They are a remarkably healthy breed and have an expected life span of 15 or more years.
