Tortellini - Miniature Pinscher Dog for Adoption in Woolwich, Maine

If I look a little shell-shocked, well, who can blame me? Me and my siblings have been through A LOT! Can you believe that our former family just left us all on a property in AL? THEN the dog catchers came and rounded us up and it was very traumatic. THEN we went to shelter and it was loud, and cold, and scary although the people were very nice. And now we're in boarding and it's better but what I would REALLY like is to be a member of a family in a quiet home with soft blankets, a comfy house, and people that will never abandon me again.

A little about me: My name is Tortellini, of the Pasta family. I'm a sweet girl but shy and scared. I know that I can be brave and happy once my family finds me. I am a little dog- only about 15 lbs- and possibly a MinPin/Rat Terrier mix. I am estimated to be about 1 year old so will likely have some older puppy energy once I decompress and feel safe. I love to sit in your lap and receive love, so a family looking for a lap dog might be a good fit for me. Littler kids would likely be scary but older, respectful kids would probably be fine. I likely haven't lived like a beloved family member so will need some help learning things like walking on leash and being a real member of a family.

I am in AL right now but am going to be making the journey north in early November. Do you think you know someone who might be a great fit for me? Please share! I can't wait to find my forever home.

If you think you might be interested in adopting Tortellini or just want to get pre-approved to adopt through us, please fill out an application on our website.
