About Miss MinnieMiss Minnie is a delightful 14-pound Shih Tzu mix with a zest for life that defies her age. Likely around 10 years old, Minnie has the energy and joy of a much younger pup. Recently groomed, Minnie’s natural coat is longer and silky. She came into rescue with her friend Daisy, and the two can be adopted together or separately.
Personality & BehaviorMiss Minnie is a sweet and affectionate "velcro" dog who loves to stay close to her people. She’s cheerful, friendly, and absolutely adores snuggle time. While she’s happy to be by your side, Minnie also has a bit of an adventurous streak and enjoys exploring her surroundings. She’ll even hop up on chairs or sofas to get a better view of things!
- Playful and Independent: Minnie likes to make her own fun, although she’s not particularly interested in toys.
Walk Enthusiast: Minnie loves her daily walks, even up hills, and enjoys exploring the outdoors—especially with her friend Daisy by her side!
- Gets Along with Smaller Dogs: She’s great with dogs her own size, like Daisy. However, Minnie will bark at the larger German Shepherd in her foster home to let her feelings be known.
- Energized Yet Calm: Minnie is lively before walks and mealtimes, but she settles down nicely afterward, enjoying her evenings in a cozy bed.
Training & SocializationMinnie is a well-behaved girl with excellent manners. She has polite leash skills and is respectful in the home, even when left loose in one room during the day.
- Housetraining: Minnie is doing well with her housetraining as long as she gets outside in time.
- Crate Friendly: She’s comfortable in a crate, whether for meals or car rides.
- Quiet Nighttime Companion: After a fun-filled day, Minnie sleeps soundly through the night in her little round bed, dreaming of her forever family.
Love and AffectionMiss Minnie is a perfect mix of affectionate and independent. She’s the ideal companion for someone looking for a loving, lively friend who’s up for adventures but equally happy to snuggle. Her gentle, cheerful nature makes her an irresistible addition to any home.
