About Mimi D

Mimi D is a shy but sweet Arkansas transplant who just wants a safe lap to call her own. Her uncertain expression draws you in—she's still learning to trust, but once she's comfortable, she's loyal and eager for attention. Expect a warm welcome when you get home; she'll show real joy to see you. Mimi D's happiest snuggled up in bed, sleeping calmly through the night by your side. She's easygoing and gets along well with other dogs—there isn't a hint of aggression in her. She's also friendly with cats. Mimi D is a work in progress on a few fronts. She's working on confidence and can still get a bit nervous, sometimes scurrying away when unsure. House training is coming along; she understands going outside but still has the occasional accident indoors. Leash walks are new to her, and she's still curious about the whole idea of a harness and lead. She hasn't mastered basic commands, but she's learning slowly. Mimi D is ready for a patient home that will give her the gentle guidance she needs. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
