Miniature Pinscher and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Bakersfield, California

Meet Peter!

Peter is proof that the best things sometimes come in tiny packages.

At just 4 months old and under 5 pounds, Peter is an adorable little puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He was found at a school alongside Pixie, who we believe may be his mom, and despite his rough start, Peter is exactly what a puppy should be-happy, playful, curious, and full of life.

Peter loves to play. Whether he's chasing toys, wrestling with dog friends, or exploring something new, he's always ready for his next adventure. After he's finished burning off his puppy energy, he's more than happy to climb into your lap for cuddles and affection.

He's incredibly friendly, loves people, and is learning quickly. Peter already knows how to use a doggie door and has adjusted beautifully to foster life. He's eager to please and excited to learn everything the world has to offer.

Peter is:

Approximately 4 months old

Under 5 pounds

Dog-friendly

Affectionate and social

Playful and curious
