About Mingo

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Say hello to Mingo! This sweet, medium-sized German Shepherd mix puppy is part of the Indian pups and is ready to steal your heart. Mingo is a gentle and affectionate companion, known for his quiet nature and love of cuddles, but he’s equally excited to run and play like any young puppy. He gets along wonderfully with his siblings and is eager to please the people around him. Being a quick learner, Mingo already knows how to sit when asked and patiently waits for his food, all while showing plenty of love to anyone nearby. Mingo is working hard on crate training, housebreaking, and basic commands. As a baby, he’s still learning good manners, so patience is key while he continues to adjust to new routines. While Mingo is doing well with potty and crate training, he still may have accidents and whine a bit as he settles in with his forever family. A special note: Mingo will soon be neutered and is almost ready to go home! He needs a home with a secure fence and an adopter who has some experience with dogs. He gets along with other dogs and is suitable for families with children eight or older. As an affectionate Libra, Mingo is bound to bring balance and sweetness into your home. He is fully vetted, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and comes with lots of puppy love. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
