Meet Minnie!Update 4/16/26 - Here is what Mimmie's foster family has to say about her personality:
'Minnie is a sweetie. Her foster mom calls her Little Bug because of her huge eyes which could make her look sad if she wasn’t wagging her tail so much – her entire body wiggling with pleasure at your presence. She settles down quickly and loves to sit next to you to watch tv or will curl up on her pillow while you work. Once she settles down for her collar she walks well on a leash. We’re working on staying calm for the collar even though she’s so excited to get going. She doesn’t bark at the doorbell, or for deliveries or the postman and we are able to leave her alone with no barking. We haven’t had her long enough to introduce her to other dogs, however she is around our cat and bunny – just ignores them unless the cat tries to eat her food, and then she barks to let the cat know to move away from the bowl. She would be great addition to an adult household, and she especially loves women, although she does warm up to men if they ply her with treats and rubs.'
