Miniature Pinscher Dogs Available for Adoption in Lafayette, California

Meet Ren — Ivy and Poppy’s adorable brother and the total heartbreaker of the bunch!

Ren is an approximately 11-week-old Min Pin mix puppy who came to us from a local shelter with his sisters after being found as a stray. Right now he weighs around 4 pounds with long gangly legs and the cutest puppy face ever. Full grown, we expect him to stay small — likely around 10–12 pounds.

Ren is playful, curious, and always ready to explore, but he also has such a sweet and affectionate side. He loves attention, enjoys cuddling, and is the kind of puppy who wants to be part of whatever you’re doing. He’s confident, social, and has the perfect mix of silly puppy energy and loving companion.

Like all young puppies, Ren is still a total baby and has no formal training yet, though he’s already doing great learning the basics in foster care. His future family should be prepared for all the normal puppy stages and committed to continued training, routine, socialization, exercise, and patience as he grows.

Ren is currently fostered in the Sacramento area and has already been neutered, making him ready to find his forever home! He will continue finishing his puppy vaccine series over the next several weeks before safely exploring public spaces, training classes, and all the adventures puppyhood has to offer.

This handsome little guy is looking for an active and loving family ready to commit to a lifetime of love, fun, and companionship. In return, Ren promises endless entertainment, puppy kisses, and a very full heart.

Adoption fee is $500
