About Mizzi
Carrie Traynor-Doble It is always heart breaking when we rescue an abused or neglected dog, however, it is just as distressing when a very loved dog like Mizzi finds herself homeless. There's no question that Mizzi has always been a cherished family member, they brought her over from South Africa when they moved to Australia. However, due to a family crisis, they had to return to South Africa and Mizzi could not go back with them. When we met her in the shelter, Mizzi was completely heartbroken and shut down. It was devastating to see.
We'd love to find a home for Mizzi who are experienced with Miniature Pinschers. They are busy little dogs with strong personalities. They take time to learn to trust new people but once you've earnt their trust, they are the most devoted little mates.
Mizzi is a pure bred Mini Pinscher who weighs about 6kg. She is a stunningly beautiful dog.
Miniature Pinschers are fantastic dogs but they aren't for everyone. In the right home, a Mini Pin is the most devoted companion, loyal, loving and so much fun. The breed was originally bred to hunt rats and other vermin, so they have a similar drive and intelligence as breeds like a Fox Terrier or a Jack Russell. However if a Mini Pin is made to live a boring life, you can expect to hear all about it. The breed is prone to be vocal and thrives with lots of company. Mizzi is classic in this way, she loves having her humans around and if she was placed in a home where she was lacking exercise, enrichment and company, she is likely to be yappy.
The ideal home for Mizzi would be with someone who would walk her daily. She has energy and likes to run around and play. Tiring her out is essential to get wellbeing. Mizzi is incredibly food motivated and intelligent and is a fantastic dog for someone with an interest in dog training. She thoroughly enjoys her toys and daily enrichment toys such as Kong's and food puzzles keep her busy.
Mizzi is surprisingly good with children. Mini Pin's are not a breed we'd normally recommend for kids, however, older dog-savvy children would be great. Mizzi would love a family who will play with her and give her an interesting life. She also loves other dogs and enjoys a good romp and play with her foster families dogs.
Mizzi would not cope with being left alone for full days on a regular basis. She does tend to fret for her foster family, no surprise, after all she's been through, so she would love to have regular company.
Medical notes
All Chihuahua Rescue Queensland dogs have been fully health checked by our vets. We offer a free post-adoption health check with Greencross Vets at Chermside, Jindalee, Browns Plains or Indooroopilly hospitals. This gives you the opportunity to talk directly to the vet about any questions you may have. We provide all veterinary records for each dog, including copies of blood tests, any relevant x-rays and medical notes.
All Chihuahua Rescue Queensland dogs are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped. We test all our dogs for heartworm and treat them with regular parasite prevention.
Mizzi has had her teeth cleaned and is an overall healthy girl. She has a bald patch on her rump from stress over-grooming when she was in the shelter, however, we hope that as she regains stability in her life, her fur will grow back in that spot.
