Featured rescue dog in need - Corduroy

Corduroy.jpg

Usually I only feature local dogs, but when my friend Amy of our local Miniature Pinscher Rescue sent me a plea for help for this little guy Corduroy, I offered to list him here on my blog where lots of you can see him and possibly send money to All Miniature Pincher Service to help foot his medical bill.
Poor little guy was hit by a car.

When I originally offered to write about him, I didn't notice that he lived in Ohio. I nearly wrote back to say "sorry no".... but come on...look at that face!
Don't you want to help him?

Before I met Amy and saw her fantastic Min Pins in action, I wasn't a big Min Pin fan. I didn't see them as the high drive dogs they surely are. Amy is successful in all canine venues with her "Pin Heads" as she calls them. Her dogs are fantastic and I like to go early to agility class so I can see her dogs fly around the course before the start of mine.

As with any breed, do your research to see if a Min Pin is the right choice for you. Click here to read a breed description. And for the record, a Min Pin was the only dog who ever bit me in a group class and I still have the scar between my thumb and pointer finger to prove it. To be fair to that dog it should be noted that the bite was many many years ago, and long before I made the switch to only positive dog training methods.

Small gifts have a way of adding up to large sums.

Thanks SO much Nancy!!! The internet is amazing and if everyone sent just $5-$10 for Corduroy, it will add up quickly!! Unfortunately, vet bills for such surgeries are skyrocketing and rescue struggles with situations like this. But, in Corduroy's case, he is young and VERY sweet, so how could we not try to help him? Please consider just a small donation to help this little fellow!

Thanks also Nancy for your kind words about my Pin Heads! They work very hard for me and are really doing very well in agility and obedience. Super active dogs who so enjoy all the time we spend together!! Canine sports ROCK!!!!
