Pronunciation [kon-sang-gwin-i-tee]

1.  Close relationship or family

We believe in working with other rescue groups who share in the same core rescue values.  These rescue groups are true dog rescues and run a professional operation.  Each rescue group has exceptionally high standards of care and compassion for the miniature pinscher, along with total admiration of the wonderful volunteers that make this happen.

These rescue groups consist of All Miniature Pinscher Service (AMPS), Friends of Penny Minpin Rescue and Southern Star Minpin Rescue (SSMPR).  Working together, we are able to act as a central team in time-sensitive situations, with one result, saving more miniature pinschers in need.  We share information, procedures, and assist each other with transports and application processing.

Together, we have established an Emergency Rescue Trust to help our rescue groups when a major surgical/medical procedure is necessary for one of our dogs. Our rescue groups are not state or federally funded.  We rely solely on donations from individuals.  100% of all donations go to the dogs.  None of the volunteers within these three organizations are paid for their rescue efforts.

When one of the “family” rescues has an injured dog requiring a major surgical/medical procedure, the Emergency Rescue Trust makes a donation towards the vetting cost.  This enables the rescue groups to care for their dogs without worry of financial burden.
