Ringo & Romey
Background: We're Ringo & Romey. We are 6 month old Black & Tan Miniature Pinschers with docked tails and natural ears. We weigh 14 pounds and have really long legs for a Min Pins. We were recently rescued from a puppy mill situation and things are really looking up for us now!! Ringo is as sweet as can be and will steal your heart in a minute once you meet him. He really enjoys your lap once he gets to know you. He will cuddle with you to take naps!! Ringo is just now learning all about how to play and have fun with other doggies and his kitty friends here at his foster home. Ringo is a timid little guy that needs a person to adopt him that has time and patience to work through all of his fears. He is scared of new sounds, all new people, a leash & collar, etc. but is starting to get better. He came into rescue very thin but his foster mom is trying to put some weight on him and he's looking great. Ringo is crate trained, but not housebroken yet. He is having fewer and fewer accidents. Romeo (aka Romey) is looking for a friend who loves making you laugh and loves to snuggle? Romey loves nothing more than being close to people. He's having fun in his foster home....playing with 2 min pins, a Doberman, 2 cats, a chinchilla, and getting visits from kids...he does great with all. He is just now discovering toys and enjoys balls and little stuffed animals. Romey is crate trained and potty trained, but will need some reinforcement with the routine in a new home. He can sleep in his crate, but LOVES it when he gets to sleep in his foster mom's bed...he snuggles up close all night. Romey is a good boy who would be a great addition to any home.
