Minnie is a bright, lovable, and energetic young pup searching for her home. She’s happiest when she’s on the move—enjoying long morning walks, romping in the yard, or playing a game of fetch. Minnie attended a small daycare several days a week and loves to socialize and play with other dogs with appropriate introductions. Minnie would do best in an adult-only household with predictable movements and noises. She thrives in an environment with clear routines and plenty of physical and mental stimulation. She’s housetrained, crate trained, and enjoys learning new tricks and cues—she’ll happily show them off for a treat! She is extremely affectionate once she is comfortable. Minnie would do best with another social, confident and outgoing dog in the home and alongside her in all that she does. She gains confidence from dog friends and blossoms most when she has a playful canine companion by her side, reinforcing that new things are nothing to be concerned about. Minnie is working hard on her manners and can get a bit anxious when meeting new people, facing unfamiliar situations or seeing new things, but with continued guidance and reassurance, she quickly settles in. Minnie is a smart girl, and eager to learn and be in tune with her people. Ideal adopters for Minnie will be active, patient, and ready to provide her with the exercise, enrichment, predictability and companionship she craves. If you’re looking for a loyal, lively, and loving addition to your family Minnie just might be your perfect match! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
