If you have a soft spot for an underdog with a whole lot of heart, then this cool little girl named Mimi just might be exactly who you've been looking for! This 21-pound Chihuahua / Fiest mix is just under a year old and is the perfect combination of cautiously curious and endearingly sweet. She came from a bad situation, and watching her discover the joy of toys, chew bones, and the occasional stolen shoe is the kind of thing that makes your heart absolutely melt. Mimi is housetrained when on a good schedule, loves her crate and treats it like her personal treasure vault where she stashes her favorite toys for safekeeping. She gets zoomies outside and then zooms back to stare up at you with the happiest little face, like she just wants to make sure you're having as much fun as she is. She also enjoys winding down next to her people, sometimes resting her head on a shoulder. She is still learning leash manners and does great with car rides in her carrier. Mimi is good with most calm dogs and cats, and once she warms up to you she is an absolute love. She is a sensitive soul who needs patience while she builds confidence, and a securely fenced yard is a must since she will need time to feel safe and settled in a new environment. Mimi would thrive with a calm, patient family who loves cheering on the shy ones and watching them blossom. She just needs someone willing to show her the world is safe, and in return she will love you with everything she has got.

Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption.
