Minnie

My story

MINNIE is currently being fostered in Texas and come to Canada. Minnie is a senior dog. Her paperwork says seven, but she is most likely closer to 10 she weighs 8 1/2 pounds. Minnie came to us after being found as a stray. She was very scared, timid and was missing most of her fur. All of her coat has now grown in and she looks a lot better. She seems to be a lot happier and her body is more relaxed. She wags her tail and gets very excited for breakfast. She prefers mostly wet food. Her teeth are not in bad condition for her age. Minnie is going to be extremely shy at first and will need some time to decompress. She really likes other dogs, especially older dogs that are calm and she would do well in a home that had other dogs to show her that the world is safe and that humans can be kind. We think someone was very mean to this sweet dog at some point in time. When she came to us she was always cowering or in a corner and she would be very scared for you to pick her up. She still tenses her body when you pick her up, but this getting better everyday. She is a work in progress. She is not great on a leash and harness yet and is so frightened of change, new people and places. She just needs help building some confidence and be given a lot of love and grace. She may be a little rough around the edges the first couple weeks in her new home that we promise you that she does warm up, relaxes, does little tail wags, and becomes an absolutely gem with a very loving demeanor once she gets used to her new surroundings. 💎 Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.
