Minnie is a pure Yellow Lab, around 6 years old. She was pulled from a hoarding/breeding situation along with her 5 sisters. All six dogs were named Molly and were used for breeding and left to fend for themselves with absolutely no human contact. They didn't even know how to eat or drink out of a bowl when we first got them.
Minnie is house-trained, but her list of tricks isn't much longer than that. She wasn't taught the basics (or her old name), but seems to know "sit" when offered a treat. Minnie is mellow, laid back, doesn't chew, and is actually the only dog at her foster home that gets free run of the house when her foster parents are away.
She's a lovable girl, always wanting to be near her family, and she's learned the benefits of a random drive-by massage. Her foster family is still working up to belly-rubs, but she'll get there. Despite her prior conditions, she was actually over fed, rather than underfed, and she was allowed to become a BIG girl. She tipped the scales at just over 102 lb when she was rescued. She's slowly losing weight in her active foster home, but has a long way to go. Her forever home will need to keep her active and watch her diet. Like any Lab, she likes the outdoors and she walks GREAT on a leash!
Minnie has been fostered in a home with 2 teenage kids and 7 other animals, including 3 cats, 1 kitten, and a rambunctious 90lb shepherd mix puppy. She fit into the mix with no problems at all! She likes to be in the vicinity of the other dogs. She'll take the occasional opportunity to chase an unsuspecting cat, but generally ignores them. It's taken a little while for her personality to come out, for her tail to wag upon greeting her family, and for her to start to smile like Labs do, but she's getting the hang of it all! She's also slowly learning to play with her puppy sibling. She watches the others play and wrestle and seems to want to get into the mix but isn't quite sure yet. She'll make a fantastic addition to a family with or without other animals.
