I'm Minerva, a 2-year-old tan terrier mix ready to start my next chapter! I came through the shelter with my puppies, and after some time in foster care, I'm finally ready to find my forever home. I'm a sweetheart who may be a little shy when we first meet, but I warm up quickly once I know you, I can also use a doggie door. Just a heads up - I can be protective of my food, so I'd thrive best eating in private. My adoption fee is free, so come say hello and let me show you what a loyal companion I can be!
