Meet Leela — a 12-year-old, 14 lb Mini Pinscher with the sweetest stance and a heart full of love!<br/><br/>Quick Facts:<br/><br/>Name: Leela<br/>Breed: Mini Pinscher Mix<br/>Age: 12 years old<br/>Weight: 14 lbs.<br/>House-Trained: Yes<br/>Crate-Trained: Yes<br/>Good with Dogs: Yes<br/>Good with Cats: Not tested but we guess she’d be fine with them!<br/>Good with Kids: Fine but would do best in a calm home with older kids who are gentle<br/>Energy Level: Low – couch potato energy<br/>Fence Required: No<br/><br/>About Leela’s Breed:<br/>Our best guess is that Leela is a Mini Pinscher mix. The Miniature Pinscher, often called the “Min Pin,” is a small but fearless breed known for its lively personality and bold spirit. Despite their toy size, they carry themselves with confidence and pride, earning nicknames like “King of the Toys.” Min Pins are intelligent, independent, and quick learners, but they can also be strong-willed, so consistent training and secure environments are important. With their athletic build and outgoing temperament, they thrive in homes that provide regular exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of companionship. Min Pins typically weigh 8–10 pounds, stand about 10–12.5 inches tall, and live 12–16 years.<br/><br/>Leela may be a senior, but she’s still got plenty of charm to share. With her stiff little walk (likely from arthritis) and her one-eyed grin, she’s proof that beauty comes in all forms. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and trustworthy outside of her crate, making her a low-maintenance companion (think “Couch Potato” vibes). Leela is friendly with everyone she meets, though she’d do best in a home without small children due to her age and preference for a calmer environment.<br/><br/>Leela’s Lovely Highlights:<br/><br/>Potty & crate trained, very well-mannered<br/>Not a barker, quiet and easygoing<br/>Dog-friendly, prefers lounging over play<br/>Likely cat-friendly, though not yet tested<br/>Great on leash, enjoys short strolls<br/>Loves cuddles, happiest as a couch potato queen<br/>Low maintenance, content with gentle routines<br/>Best fit: one-story home with a single person or couple who can give her love and companionship<br/><br/>Leela is the definition of a sweetheart—she loves everyone, wags her tail happily, and will gladly curl up in your lap while you watch TV.
