Lincoln

Jack Russell Terrier

Male, Adult

Rochester, MN

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lincoln is a 7 year old, 26 pound Jack Russell Terrier mix. He has gorgeous markings, soft fur, and is low shedding. He usually has one ear up and one ear down, but when there&#39s treats involved both ears go up! He has a slight curl to his tail and a totally unique ridge of fur on the bridge of his adorable nose. Lincoln has an incredible personality, full of terrier spunk. He loves to play fetch and bounces around like a puppy for his &#34dino paw&#34 toy. He&#39s relentless at scent work which I discovered due to my poor aim when playing fetch. He loves searching for the &#34lost&#34 ball in the grass! Lincoln talks when he&#39s excited and jumps straight into the air squealing when the leash comes out. He is FANTASTIC on a leash, does not react to kids, dogs, cars, just trots along wagging his tail. Lincoln is loyal and wants to be near you at all times. He is happy to sleep on the floor next to you or join you on the bed. Lincoln gives tiny little kisses on command. He also knows sit, lay, walk, come, and probably more. He is 100% potty trained and crate trained. Lincoln likely needs to be the only dog in the home as he does not like to share toys or treats. He gives a warning growl when he&#39s not happy about something. He needs a home without cats and small children. He has some anxiety and fear around new people and needs to warm up slowly. He&#39s currently taking fluoxetine for anxiety and benadryl for itching. Time with a trainer to improve his confidence in his new home is highly recommended. He&#39s an amazing dog, a truly wonderful little companion for the right situation. Lincoln&#39s adoption fee is $300.

Paco (2019)

Chihuahua

Male, Senior

Rochester, MN

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Paco is a 9 year old, 12 lb Chihuahua (little brown one). His favorite thing is to curl up with you in bed at night. He can be a little pushy/excited at times ? likely, just getting used to our routine. He eats when he wants to, and wasn&#39t thrilled with the bath, but just left it at a little whining til he got out. Usually he is happy to gnaw on a toy or bone while lying on the couch by you. He loves to quietly watch what is going on outside. Paco and Runt are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They both ride in the car beautifully! They do not do well in crates. Runt will scratch and smash her face on the grates, so we left them out in our bedroom the first few days we were at work. They now have the run of the house--no problems! They have had no accidents in the house, and they have fully raided our pet toy box. They didn&#39t bark or care about about our dogs or cats , but will bark at other dogs when out for a walk. The original owner says they will go to the door and bark to let you know they need to go out. We haven&#39t been able to confirm as we have two seniors we let out a lot in the evenings. There is no guarding or aggression at all when it comes to food or toys. They both sleep through the night. Their adoption fee is $500.

Captain

Miniature Pinscher

Male, Senior

Rochester, MN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Captain is an 11-year old, male, gorgeous Miniature Pinscher who was a truck drivers companion for a number of years. His owner stopped driving and he spend the last three years with another family member. There was a divorce in that family and Captain became an SDR Foster. Captain loves to go for walks and car rides. He is very eager to meet new people and dogs and sometimes he needs a little restraint when doing so. However, in the home he is calm and well-mannered. He has been cat and 8 year-old kid tested and passed with flying colors. Captain would fit well into a home with or without other pets. Due to his size, small children are not recommended. He loves all people he meets and although he has been through several homes on his way to foster care, he integrates very easily into new situations. He is not a barker who would also do well in a community setting. He has never had a single accident in his foster home and after a few days of being confined to one area he is now given free range of the house when left alone. Captain has some skin irritations which are possible allergy issues. We are working with our vets on a solution. Captain has a very sweet personality,loves to cuddle and just be with you. He would be an outstanding companion to a loving home. His adoption fee is $300.
