Our Mission

MinPinHaven specializes in rescuing Miniature Pinschers (aka King of Toys, Houdini dogs, Mini Pins and Min Pins.) MinPinHaven will also rescue and foster other pure and mixed breed small to medium sized dogs until their forever home is found, or until they leave this world for Rainbow Bridge as MinPinHaven is a no kill shelter – a safe Haven for its residents. MinPinHaven’s primary goals are:

1. Contribute to ending euthanasia of adoptable pets through partnerships with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control, the Arizona Humane Society and any other public or private entity;
2. organize educational gatherings on topics such as choosing the right breed for their family, the responsibilities and commitment involved with responsible pet ownership, how to positively change unwanted behavior; the importance of spay/neuter; and working to help families keep their pets through life altering and medical events;
3. support smaller rescue groups by providing venues for quarantine of contagious animals, meeting space for fundraising events, educational presentations on topics of current importance by area veterinary, research or alternative care experts, and
4. organize annual fundraisers to provide the rescue community and rescue support services a forum to get together with the general human and animal public for a day of getting to know each other.
