IMPS Miniature Pinscher rescue has diabetic MinPin who needs a home

[MarySue]

Hello, a fellow rescuer suggested I contact this list for assistance in finding a good home for Mocha, a 6 year old chocolate male Miniature Pinscher with diabetes. Mocha is a medium-sized MinPin, weighs about 18 pounds. He is located in Delaware, and his writeup may be seen at
www.minpinrescue.org
Scoll down to Available Dogs, and then click on DE to see his photo. He is a gorgeous fellow, but as you know, diabetic dogs are difficult to place.
You can use the email link with his posting if you have any questions for me, or have any suggestions on finding him a home. He does have an alpha temperament tendency, so needs an experienced home where appropriate limits will be set and maintained.
Thanks for any help you can offer Mocha!

Here's Mocha's photo and profile:



Mocha: 6 yr old chocolate/tan male, neutered, docked tail and cropped ears. 16", 19 lb. Shots up-to-date. Rescued from shelter.

SPECIAL NEEDS...Mocha is a gorgeous chocolate and tan larger Pin... beautiful shiny coat and striking MinPin hackney gait. He has a wonderful personality, sweet as can be. Likes his toys and going for walks. He was diagnosed with diabetes 5 months ago and currently takes insulin injections twice a day. He is very patient with all this. He has a cataract on his right eye that limits his vision at night, so he needs a little help getting around in new environments if the light is not good. But he is worth the extra care he needs, what a wonderful fellow he is!! Please email with any questions if you think you might be the forever home this handsome fellow is waiting for, we would love to hear from you!

Note: Mocha is located in Dover DE - and we will not fly this boy.
