About Mandy

Miniature Pinscher / Chihuahua
Age: Puppy
Sex: Female

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION. 1) Should live with adults only. 11 month old Miniature Pincher/Chihuahua mix, about 9 pounds. This is Mandy. We think she may be a miniature pincher chihuahua mix, but your guess is as good as ours. What we do know is she is 9 pounds of pure sweetness, energy, and personality! She still very much has puppy tendencies, as she LOVES to do zoomies around the yard, play with other small dogs, and, *when* she slows down...cuddle. She is very much her human's shadow. She is also smart and eager to please wanting most to be a good girl but is also still working on self-control. She likes to lick when she is excited and is still a bit mouthy. Because she is so young, smart, and energetic, she will need an owner who will give her daily walks (she is great on a leash), has at least a small yard she can frolic in, and enjoys playing fetch. She would also benefit from another very playful and energetic dog her size in the home. She will enjoy bones she can chew on and other intellectual stimulus, like puppy puzzles and games. She gets along with other small dogs, but we are not sure about larger ones yet or cats. She is a bit worried about being picked up until she is comfortable with her person. At this point, we believe an adult only home is best. Mandy can be a bit nervous around new people, especially men. While she warmed up to me and other women immediately, she is still a bit timid around some men. She is crate trained and stays in her crate when we are away from the house. She cries a little when you first leave but settles down after 5-10 minutes. For this reason, an apartment might not be best for her, or your neighbors. She has slept in her crate at night but prefers to sleep in the bed and is very good at it, until she is ready get up, and when she is ready, she is READY! Mandy really is such a happy, terrific, loving little lady. She is a real treat to be around. Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older. Puppies are adopted with a refundable spay/neuter deposit (in addition to the adoption fee) and adopters are required to get their puppy to our vet for their pre-scheduled spay-neuter appointments. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at [email protected] or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. You must live within a three-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), so we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.
