About Minnie

Minnie is impossibly sweet and absolutely obsessed with curling up on a warm lap. She’s only 6 pounds, so calling her a tiny lap lover barely does her justice. There’s some shyness when she first meets someone new, but that melts away quickly once she realizes she’s safe. Minnie has never been apart from her sister Mya—they are tightly bonded, love to play together, nap in a sunbeam, and snuggle for hours. Adopting them as a pair is highly encouraged. Minnie gets along well with both other dogs and cats. Now based in Union City, PA, she brings a gentle, affectionate presence to any home. If you’re looking for a petite companion with a soft spot for laps (and who brings along her best friend), Minnie is ready to be part of your family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
