This special little senior lady is MINA - a very sweet and loving Shih Tzu mix who is likely between 10-12 years old and about 15 pounds. Mina is a happy, sweet, loving dog who likes nothing more than to be with you and receive belly rubs. She is a plucky lady who is confident once she knows her surroundings; she also enjoys going for walks so she can check out the neighborhood. Mina is friendly with new people, good with children, comfortable around small dogs and indifferent to cats. This sweet girl will welcome you home with snorts and tail wags and then lay by your feet to be close - she doesn’t jump up on furniture. Mina wants nothing more than to be close to you, feel safe, and receive your loving attention.
Mina did not receive any health care for many years and had untreated medical conditions upon rescue. Mina has no vision in one eye due to cataracts requiring daily eye drops. Additionally, she was diagnosed with Cushings Disease, a condition that occurs when a dog's body produces too much cortisol, a steroid hormone, so Mina requires daily oral medication to manage the condition. The good news is that after taking this new medication for only a couple months, her foster parents have seen good improvement in her general condition. This girl holds a special place in our hearts due to a lifetime of neglect. Mina deserves a loving, diligent adopter who will take good care of her for the remainder of her life.
This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, tested for diseases, provided inoculations, been dewormed, neutered, and microchipped.
