Meet Maeuschen — The Mighty Minipin with a Big Heart!
Hi there! My name is Maeuschen (pronounced My-shen — it's German for "little mouse"). My foster mom gave me that name, and it’s stuck — probably because it fits my sweet, spunky personality perfectly!
I’m an 8-month-old Miniature Pinscher, which basically means I’m a teenager in dog years — full of energy, curiosity, and yes, a bit of attitude! I weigh about 25 pounds, but don’t let my size fool you — I’ve got a BIG personality and an even bigger heart.
My story hasn’t been easy. I don’t remember how I ended up on the streets of San Antonio, but I was scared, hungry, and alone. A kind man picked me up and gave me a temporary home, but he knew I needed more than he could offer — and that’s how I found my way to my amazing foster mom.
But this isn’t the end of my story — it’s just the beginning. I’m dreaming of a forever home where I can thrive, grow, and be part of a loving family.
Here’s a little about me:
I’m super social — I love people and make instant friends with other dogs. Seriously, it only takes a second!
Cats? Still trying to figure them out. They don’t want to play with me, which is confusing.
I LOVE to play fetch (and I’m getting better at bringing the toy back — promise!).
I need a family that’s active and engaged — I’m not a couch potato, and I love mental and physical stimulation.
People have said I’d make a great service or working dog with the right training — and I think they’re on to something!
I’m sweet, loyal, smart, and full of potential. All I’m missing is you — my person, my partner, my happily ever after.
Could that be you? Let’s find out.
Sincerely
Maeuschen

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
