What am I paying for with Miniature Pinscher Adoption

What am I paying for with miniature pinscher adoption? Where is my money actually going? Do they really have this much money in each dog they are adopting out?

These are all very reasonable questions. We will start of with what am I paying for with miniature pinscher adoption? First of all, you are paying them for their services. You are paying the salaries of the people working there, operating expenses, and any other costs they endure. The agency is a business like anything else out there and has to make money to stay open.

Where is my money actually going? Well that could be anywhere. They have bills just like everyone else does. They have lights, water, employees, and other expenses to keep working. Your money may not be going just to cover the dog you are adoptiong and the costs they have incurred with it.

Do they really have this much money in each dog they are adopting out? Chances are, no they don't. But that doesn't mean they are ripping you off. By keeping a flat adoption fee it assures them that everything will be paid and the dogs will get adopted fairly. Just think if you saw one dog for $75 and another for $250, both of the same breed. Which one would you want? Well that is pretty obvious, the cheaper one would get taken before the expensive one. Vet care is very expensive and costs can build up quickly. The fee you pay for one of their dogs covers a fraction of the full operating cost. They will definitely tell you if the dog you are getting has had any health issues. The ones with the health problems will have cost them more to take in, and have cost more money in vet bills.

So the next time you ask what am I paying for with miniature pinscher adoption, just remember they are a business too and are providing a great service to the community.

Miniature Pinscher Dogs

A few months ago I got one of the miniature pinscher dogs for myself. He is a small dog with a lot of energy. We got him from someone that could no longer take care of him the way he deserved to be taken care of so they gave him to me. I was more than happy to take him. I was looking for an older dog at the time to go along with my puppy I have. He turned out to be a great lapdog. He has a lot of energy but can curl up next to you at anytime without a problem.

When we got him the first thing we did was take him to the vet to get him up to date on his shots and get him checked out to make sure he was healthy. Miniature pinscher dogs are not prone to too many health conditions which is a good thing. The vet did inform us, though, that he has heartworms. This was caused by the previous owner not keeping him on preventative medication. Well we checked around and over all treatment is going to cost us about $4oo. I can deal with that. Min Pins live around 13 to 15 years and he is only 7 so it is definitely worth it to have him healthy so that he can be a part of our family for years to come. Heartgard for dogs is a great medication used to prevent heartworms.

We have had him for sbout 3 months now and he is a blast to have at the house. The way he runs around playing with his toys. Fortunately he was already housebroken when we got him so that saved some training. Since we don't have to do that we started training him on other things. He knows how to sit, lay down, and shake. He is learning more and more every day. Miniature pinscher dogs are very smart and learn very quickly. Min pins are also very eager to please their owners and are very happy to get rewarded.

His previous owners had named him Winston. I did not like that name at all so I changed it to MOJO. He learned that very quickly as well. I love having him. He has definitely been a great addition to the family. So far miniature pinscher dogs seem to fit well with me.
