Meet Mindy, a 1 year old Chihuahua mix who was returned to AFA when her owner's work situation changed requiring him to travel for long periods of time. Mindy is overwhelmed with this change in her life, returning to the shelter and all of the noise and hustle & bustle. She is very shy and nervous when first meeting new people. Potential adopters should be aware that it may take more than one visit to break the ice. Once she trusts you, she lets her full personality shine - she is super excited to see you, loves getting attention and snuggles, and enjoys going on short walks. It takes some patience and time to gain her trust, but she is worth it! Interested in adopting?
