Miniature Pinscher Dogs Available for Adoption in Lafayette, California

Meet Ivy — possibly the prettiest little Min Pin puppy around!

This adorable long-legged beauty is currently about 11 weeks old and came to us as a stray from a local shelter alongside her siblings. Right now she weighs just about 4 pounds, but with those extra long legs we expect her to grow into a sleek little 10–12 pound adult.

Ivy has a BIG personality packed into a tiny body. She’s playful, curious, busy, and always ready for the next adventure — but she’s also incredibly affectionate and absolutely loves to cuddle once she’s gotten her wiggles out.

Like any young puppy, Ivy is still very much an infant and has no formal training yet, but she’s already doing great with the basics in her foster home. She’s smart, eager, and would thrive with a family committed to continued training, structure, socialization, and consistency.

Ivy is currently fostered in the Sacramento area and has already been spayed, so she’s officially ready to find her forever home! She will continue finishing her puppy vaccine series over the next six weeks before she can safely explore public spaces, puppy classes, and all the fun adventures ahead.

This active little girl is looking for a family who understands that puppies require time, patience, daily exercise, and lifelong commitment. In return, Ivy promises endless entertainment, cuddles, and unconditional love.

Help us find Ivy the perfect forever family!
Adoption fee is $500
