Name: Minnie Breed: Schnauzer/Yorkie mix Age: DOB 2/21/25 Gender: female Location: Yorkville, IL Adoption fee: $500 Meet Minnie – Your Shy Little Shadow 🐾 Minnie is a 15-pound Schnauzer/Yorkie mix with soulful eyes and a tender heart that’s still learning the world can be a safe place. In her early puppy years, Minnie didn’t get the socialization she needed, so new people can feel a little scary to her. When she’s unsure, she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body—she simply runs off to hide until she feels safe again. Because of this, Minnie will need a patient and understanding home that will let her move at her own pace. She’s looking for a family who understands that trust takes time, but once it’s earned, it’s incredibly special. One thing that does make Minnie feel confident? Other dogs! She absolutely loves playful dog friends and would thrive in a home with a friendly canine companion to show her the ropes and help build her confidence. Minnie’s ideal home will also have a secure fenced yard, as she can be a little flighty when nervous and we want to make sure she always stays safe. The good news is Minnie already has some great house manners: • Potty pad trained • Crate trained • Quiet and gentle in the home • Loves playing with other dogs Minnie may not be the dog who runs up to greet strangers right away, but for the right person who believes in shy dogs, she’ll be a quiet, loyal little companion who blossoms more every day. 🌼 If you have a calm home, a fenced yard, and a friendly dog who can help Minnie learn that the world isn’t so scary, she might just be the perfect little addition to your family. ✨ Sometimes the shyest dogs have the most beautiful stories once they learn they’re safe.
