Meet Minnow! 🐟

At just two years old and 31 pounds, Minnow is a female Husky-type with legs for days and energy to match! Her signature floppy ear and goofy personality make her impossible not to love, she’s the kind of dog who brings a smile to everyone she meets.

Minnow is full of bounce and joy, famous for her lightning-fast zoomies and playful spirit. She loves chasing toys, offering silly play bows, and bouncing around to invite you into the fun. While she’s always up for an adventure, she also has a sweet, affectionate side. Minnow prefers affection on her terms, appreciating a balance of space and snuggles — but once she’s comfortable, she leans in for scratches, and happily gives kisses to her favorite people.

She truly shines outdoors and loves feeling the grass under her paws, making her an excellent companion for walks and outdoor time. Minnow walks confidently on leash and is making great progress, frequently checking in and walking nicely with only occasional pulling.

Minnow already knows “sit” and “down” and is continuing to learn all about life as a well-loved house dog, including grooming and vet care. She can be just a little nervous in brand-new environments, but she’s gaining confidence every day with gentle encouragement.

With other dogs, Minnow has done well when given slow introductions and time to warm up, and she may enjoy a canine friend who respects her pace.

Minnow would thrive in a home that appreciates her playful energy, gives her time to build confidence, and shares her love of the great outdoors. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, and deeply endearing companion, Minnow might just be your perfect match!
