Meet MINNIE! Sweet Minnie is about 5 years old, 25 pounds, female, black and tan rat terrier mix. She is so sweet and a friendly gal! She loves to get attention from her humans! Everyone she meets adores this sweet girl. While she is a tripod, Minnie does not let that hold her back -- she can be energetic, and loves playing in the yard and with her toys in the house! After a walk, Minnie settles down for a nice nap or just to hang out with her people. She has done well with cats in her home. Minnie has great house manners, including being housetrained. Poor Minnie has not always been properly taken care of but has left her horrible past behind and is ready to find her forever home. When found by animal control in NC, she had a painful leg injury. Despite the pain, she was so sweet that the shelter made an urgent plea to save her....PetConnect Rescue was able to come to her rescue, bring her to the DC area to a great foster, and give her the necessary medical care she needed, including amputation of the irreparable leg! Although she is a tripod, she has so much love and happiness to give to her new family for many years! Minnie would love to curl up in your lap to hang out on a spring evening; she loves to cuddle and get pets! Minnie is up-to-date on vaccines, preventatives, and has had bloodwork, a dental, and heartworm treatment! She is eager to find her person(s) to love! ***Please note that our first step is to fill out an application (it does not commit you in anyway but allows us to discuss with you if you and the dog are a good fit).
