Mindy is a 9-year-old Lab and Hound mix in need of a kind and steady home. Abandoned in her later years, she's retained a warm spirit and a loving temperament. As a senior, Mindy likes to take things at a gentler pace, cherishing walks and quiet time. Still, this 55lb girl has more spark than you might expect—she enjoys the outdoors, playing with toys, and soaking up attention, treats, and chew bones. She does well with other dogs through slow introductions and is currently sharing kennel space with dog friends at the shelter. Mindy is crate trained and does best with a predictable routine; seniors like her need reliable schedules to help manage bathroom needs. She prefers walking with a harness, and while she can be vocal meeting new dogs, she builds confidence with patient guidance. Despite tough experiences, Mindy remains eager to trust and bond, ready for an adopter who appreciates her resilience and gentle nature. She gets along with other dogs and children, making her a wonderful companion for a calm household. Give this senior dog the safe landing she deserves. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
