Minestrone is the softhearted sweetheart of the group. He enjoys playing and tumbling around with his siblings, but at his core he is a gentle and sensitive little guy who prefers being close to his people. If given the choice, he would happily choose cuddling over just about anything else.
He can be a bit shy at first, but once he feels comfortable his affectionate personality really shines through. Minestrone is the kind of puppy who wants to follow you from room to room just to be nearby. He would do best in a home that wants a loyal companion and is excited to raise a puppy who loves being part of the family.
Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.
