Mini

My story

Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617Could she do well with kids? Yes, with children 16 years and older. There may need to be multiple meets.Could she do well with other dogs? We believe she would do best as the only dog in the home.Has this dog lived with cats? Unknown. [The Lycoming County SPCA does not “cat test” dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian’s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]---What volunteers have to say about this animal:Meet Mini – Tiny Frame, Big Heart, and a Braver Spirit Every DayWhen Mini first arrived at the SPCA, she was scared to leave her kennel. She’d cower at the door, unsure of the world waiting outside. But today? This 1-year-old American Pit Bull mix bursts out tail wagging, ears up, ready to walk, sniff, explore—and most of all, snuggle.At just 42 pounds, Mini is a pocket-sized bundle of curiosity and affection. She walks beautifully on leash, is always scanning the world with bright eyes, and the minute you sit down, she`ll push herself right into your lap like she’s trying to melt into you.Why We’re So Proud of Mini:- She`s come so far—from fearful and unsure to affectionate and adventurous- An amazing leash walker who trots along with purpose- Will lean her whole self into your chest for pets and ear rubs- Gentle, observant, and wonderfully expressive once she feels safe- Still shy in her kennel—but step inside, and you’ll meet the real MiniWhat Mini’s Looking For:- A quiet, patient home where she can keep building confidence- A human (or two) who understands that some dogs just need a little extra time and a soft bed to burrow into- A family with kids 16+ and no other pets—Mini wants all your love to herself- Someone who sees her nervousness not as a flaw, but as a reason to love her moreMini is still learning how to trust the world—but she’s already discovered that people can be wonderful. She’ll need slow intros to new faces, gentle encouragement in new spaces, and someone willing to see past her caution to the deeply loving dog underneath.She’s ready for her next big step. Could that be with you?---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Mini is a lovely girl excited to get out and go on adventures. Mini is great on a leash. She tolerates handling at first but then starts to enjoy it and leans into you, wanting more; she is curious about her
