SENIOR DOGS LOOKING FOR LOVE:
IMPS volunteers are dedicated to rescuing Miniature Pinchers and finding the perfect forever home, but there are always too many dogs in need, too little foster space, and the ones that get turned away are most often older/special needs critters that people don't want. These dogs are euthanized before their natural time to go. We know people want a younger dog to spend more time with, but there are no guarantees in life and the depth of love between human and canine friends can defy the limits of time, bring the same rewards be it months or a couple years or many. A lot of these dogs came to us because they lost their owners first; many Min Pins live 16-18 years. For the very few older/special needs dogs that we can maintain in foster care, we'd like you to at least consider making a home for one or even being a foster home. The adoption donation is much lower for older dogs and there is no fee, of course, to foster a dog. Some of our dogs have the typical problems of "old age", but they are minor ones and everyone likes to walk in the sun, snuggle, eat and watch the world with their humans. They are all welcome to live out their lives with their current foster parents, but there are others who'd like the same chance. Thanks for thinking about them. (All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, at least potty trained to a schedule, and would do best in quieter homes with no young children.)
Luna - 10 yrs. red female, 10", 9 lbs, docked tail, cropped ears :
Ms. Luna is a quiet cuddler who doesn't like every small dog and isn't wholly fond of cats either, but she'd thrive with people where she can get ample attention. IMPS Tag: 17251 -- For more details, contact Karen: ksmickley@comcast.net
Coco - 13 yrs. black and tan female, 12", 11 lbs., docked tail, cropped ears: Still very spunky and playful, the Divine Ms. Coco enjoys other dogs, absolutely must sleep in your bed, and after a minute of shyness, will become your shadow. IMPS Tag: 20574 -- For more details, contact Melissa: co.imps@gmail.com
Who We Are
The IMPS mission is to improve the lives of homeless and abandoned Miniature Pinschers through rescue and the love and respect that comes with humane care, compassion and kindness.
Adopting a friend
IMPS attempts to assist Miniature Pinschers in need by providing foster care, transport, adoptive homes, veterinary care, and other services and information for the well-being of Miniature Pinschers. All Miniature Pinschers placed through IMPS will be spayed or neutered prior to placement, and have been thoroughly evaluated by a breed representative for temperament and training needs. IMPS requires reimbursement of all necessary veterinary costs (eg. the cost of the spay/neuter, microchipping, and any veterinary care required prior to placement), and in some instances, travel costs. A donation to the organization is requested with each adoption so that we may continue to care for chronically ill and/or severely injured foster dogs. In all cases, any expenses related to the adoption will be agreed upon prior to placement. While the Adoption expenses may be negotiable for some dogs, please remember that the care and upkeep of a dog, even the "King of Toys", requires some financial outlay, and if a small placement expense is beyond your means, you may wish to consider a pet which does not require as much care as the Miniature Pinscher.
