Story
Marco: 2 year old, black & rust, neutered male, natural ears & docked tail, 13" & 10 lbs. Shots up-to-date & Micro-chipped. Shelter rescue.
"Hello Everyone, I'm Marco.
I'm a 2-year-old, 10-pound bundle of sass. I ended up at a shelter in Central California. It is a scary shelter and more dogs don't make it out breathing than those who do. I had been there for a month, which is a really, really, long time in that place. I guess they let me live because I'm so handsome and because I've got serious attitude!
Well I made it safely to my IMPS foster home. Being a typical Min Pin (only on uppers...), I immediately tried to establish who was the boss (me, Marco). Well, that didn't end well for me. I figured out right away that my foster mom is the boss and I have rules I have to follow, structure, and she won't budge on who is boss. Wow! I sure did not expect this! I mean, I'm appreciative of her loving me and being kind, and giving me lots and lots of really yummy food, but I was used to getting my way and being the total boss, so it was really shocking to me. I mean, I had a whole bag of tricks to use on unsuspecting people, but her bag of counter tricks was much bigger. I've been a total failure at becoming the boss, so I finally gave up and just mind her. Life is much simpler this way, and surprisingly enough, I'm totally happy with it. I think I actually feel safer with her being the boss and protecting me.
I love playing with my foster siblings, both the really ginormous Doberman and the other little Min Pins like myself (Marco). I get along really well with everyone. There is a cat there that my foster mom keeps away from us doggies, but if I could get at that thing, I'd chase it. It would just be too much fun to pass up.
I learned right away about that hole in the door with the swinging flaps. I can push those flaps and just jump out. I can run around the yard and do my business, play with my doggie siblings and explore! I just love that doggie door thing because I don't have to wait for someone to open the door. I can come and go as I please. Kinda lets me think I'm the boss just a little because I don't have to get permission to go out.
My foster mom says I've not been destructive, but it is really because I have lots to do and have not felt the need. And, really mature guys just don't do that childish stuff. My foster mom really loves me! She says I'm just plain, stinking adorable! I love her too and will jump on her lap and bury my head in her neck right up under her hair, scoot around until I'm comfortable and sleep. My foster mom says I've got tons of personality! One minute I'm all sass and spit and vinegar and the next, I'm just the sweetest, cuddliest boy ever! I'm not a boring fella, I can tell you that!
The people at IMPS say I'm ready for my own family now and they are going to find just the right one for me. My perfect family will need to be all adults or much older children and have lots of experience with sassy little Min Pins like myself and will need to set rules and boundaries for me and help me learn what they are in my new home. I'm pretty excited about getting my own family and getting lots of love and attention and knowing that they will look for me until they find me if I get lost again.
If you think you are the perfect family for me, could you please hurry and complete the IMPS adoption application?
I'm patiently waiting for you!
Love, Marco"
