Shepherd and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Brookeville, Maryland

Meet Minnie

Minnie is a beautiful, gentle girl with soulful eyes and a heart that’s just waiting to belong to someone. She has a calm, loving presence and the kind of quiet sweetness that makes you feel instantly connected to her.

Minnie enjoys being close to her people, whether that’s walking alongside you, relaxing nearby, or simply watching the world go by. She has a nice balance of energy—she’s happy to explore and be outside, but she also settles in easily and appreciates a calm, comfortable space.

She has a soft, affectionate personality and bonds deeply with those she trusts. With a little time to settle in and feel safe, Minnie will become an incredibly loyal and devoted companion.

Minnie would do best with a family that can provide her with patience, consistency, and love as she continues to build confidence and adjust to home life. She appears to be a Labrador mix and is ready for a fresh start with a family who will cherish her.

Minnie is fostered in Texas.
