Dog Name: Waffles

Breed: MinPin mix

Sex: Female

Age: 8yrs (estimated)

Weight: 15 lbs

Medical Needs: Spay appt is scheduled for 2/3/26 at Humane Animal Partners in Wilmington.

Keeping this appt is a condition of adoption and foster to adopt families must live within 1 hour of surgery location to ensure there won't be any issues getting her to and from the appointment.

Housebroken: Yes. She gives you the eye when she needs to go out and do not make the royal highness wait or she will voice her displeasure.

Crate trained: Yes. She will go into the crate for a treat and will sing the song of her people for a little bit especially if she knows you are in the house but eventually quiets down for 10minutes. She despises the crate no matter how comfy or how big it is she will sing.

Good in the car: Yes, she enjoys going for rides. She prefers to be in the front passenger seat and does not move much once there provided you create a suitable throne made of fluffy blankets.

Good on a leash: She's good on a leash but will let you know that it is beneath her royal standards.

Energy level: Low

Need a fenced in yard: Not necessarily but she would appreciate it as she likes going out to sit in the sun and patrolling the perimeter of her kingdom.

Dog Friendly: Yes. Currently resides with 3 Great Danes and a Doberman. And yes they are her loyal subjects.

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Nope, she is fine being by herself.

Cat Friendly? Unknown

Kid Friendly: I would not place her in a home with kids younger than teens. She is a small princess who just wants to chill with her person.

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Teens or older.

If you are looking for a lazy loyal dictator, I mean Princess look no farther. Princess Waffles is no spring chicken so low energy is how I would describe her. She will follow you where ever you go and when she's tired of following you she will find a fuzzy blanket to burrow under for a nap and that's where she will spend most of her time. She will get spurts of energy when she's excited but that doesn't last long. Excellent recall not that she goes far from you. There is no doubt of her min pin heritage from her markings to her need to burrow under blankets.

She is overweight so she we monitor her food and treat intake. She will give you the sad eyes and low grumbles like you are starving her so Stay strong and Don't give in!!! She needs to get to a healthy weight and no longer mimic the look of a football. Waffles is a perfect house mate provided you acknowledge her as a Royal Princess.

Fosters Location: Townsend, DE
