BIO: Hi there, my name is Minnie. I was found running loose by a very caring person that was nice enough to take me in, feed me and try to locate my previous owner. When I was found, I had a couple of puncture wounds in my neck - so evidently someone didn't like me :-( I am a little overweight - the vet feels I should only weigh about 10#. I am good with cats and dogs, but would really prefer just to be a one and only. I occasionally grumble at the other dogs while they are playing - I guess I am like their babysitter. I do not have the "typical" high-strung or hyper personality of a MinPin. I absolutely love toys, especially squeaky ones, and playing ball/tug. I would make a great little companion dog for an adult. I am house-trained and am very neat and clean. Originally I did not like to be crated - but that has all changed. Once I had my dental work done, my teeth cleaned and the infections in my mouth taken care of because of my teeth I absolutely LOVE my crate. Now I love to sleep in there with the door open. I have not had one single accident in the house or in my crate since going into foster care. Also I am not destructive and have not chewed up anything. My foster family would love to keep me, but they already have a dog and the other dog does not want me to become a permanent part of their family. I would prefer to be right with you and just hang out. Because of my demeanor, my foster Mom thinks that I may have been a companion for an older person. I desperately needed to have my teeth cleaned, so the rescue had that done at the vets while I was being spayed. I love going on walks, which is good because maybe I can shed a couple of unnecessary pounds. If you are interested in making a small place in your heart and home for me - I promise to reward you with all the love you can possibly handle. Because I am so tiny, it would not be advisable for me to be around toddlers - I can break too easily. I am UTD on all vaccinations and heartworm negative. You must have a completely fenced and secure yard in order to adopt me.
