BreedMiniature Pinscher

Dundee is another fortunate soul saved from a UK pound. We are unaware of his background, so can only tell you what we know. Dundee is a Miniature Pinscher dog who appreciates being left alone while he eats his meals. While he was out on tea-break with us, he just sat and watched as we were eating biscuits. He didn’t attempt to snatch or guard anything. As for his food bowl, he will give warnings if you get too close to it - so would be best to feed him in a separate room. Dundee has attended a class at dog school and showed no reaction to the other dogs, he seems to be curious but happy. Dundee would best suit a home without young children. Dundee loves affection, he’s quite happy to curl up on someone’s lap during tea-break, so he has probably been used to a home environment. We would love for him to have that again.

SexMale
Age9 years
BreedMiniature Pinscher

Ralph has been with us for a little while now and he’s the kind of dog who needs time to get to know you. He can be unsure at first, but once he feels safe and trusts you, he’s a really friendly lad.When he’s settled, Ralph is full of energy and personality, with plenty of quirky little habits that make him very endearing. He can be stubborn and likes things his own way, and he doesn’t enjoy being pulled or handled when he’s not comfortable. In the past he has nipped as a way of saying “please give me space”. Ralph is looking for a calm, adult-only home with someone who understands dogs and is happy to go at his pace. He would be happiest as a one-to-one, but an experienced couple could be considered with the right introductions and plenty of patience.
