About Mingus

Meet Mingus, a Beagle mix with a lot of love to share. At roughly 2 years old, Mingus arrived after his family moved away and could not bring him along. Neutered and up to date on vaccinations, he came in charming everyone with his outgoing, friendly temperament and strong spirit. He uses a wheelchair due to a slipped disc but doesn’t let that slow him down. Mingus has short, tricolor fur, and thrives on affection. He does well with children and has a positive attitude that shines through, making him a standout companion. If you already have animals at home, a meet-and-greet will be needed before bringing Mingus home. Nothing about his special needs keeps him from loving life or making strong connections. Give him a chance—he’s ready for a new chapter full of care and companionship. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
