Retriever and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Meemaw Ivey, and I'm from Alabama!

Would you like some sweet southern sunshine in your life? Meet Meemaw Ivey - an older gal who's sweeter than pecan pie.

She's a bit shy at first, but a few gentle pets, treats, and some time to warm up, and she will melt into you. Meemaw loves her people, couch snuggles/naps, and leisurely walks. She is housebroken, low energy, walks great on a leash, and does well in the car. Meemaw is not crate trained; but does well when left out in the home alone. She may bark a few times to protest your absence, and will counter surf for a tasty treat if they're in reach!

Her happy dance when you come home and the way she melts for pets are sure to worm her into your heart.

Do you have a quiet house, a comfy couch, and plenty of snuggles to give Meemaw in her golden years?

From the Vet:
Meemaw Ivey is a gentle soul who is ready to let her true spirit shine. While she arrived with a few hurdles to clear, including demodex mange, dental disease, and heartworm disease, her resilient heart hasn't skipped a beat. We are taking things one step at a time to ensure she feels her very best.
Meemaw is currently beginning her journey to wellness, starting with her spay and the first steps of her heartworm treatments. To keep her safe and help her body heal, she will need a quiet, low-energy lifestyle with restricted activity during her heartworm treatment. This means more time for cozy naps and gentle chin scratches, which suits her sweet personality perfectly.
About 30 to 40 days after her heartworm treatment is fully completed and she's feeling strong, we will schedule her dental care. TBB will include her heartworm and dental care in her adoption contract. This ensures her new family can focus on what matters most: the quiet joy of a wagging tail and the comfort of a loyal companion.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
