About Minnie Pearl

Minnie Pearl is a teacup Chihuahua with a bit of attitude and a clear idea of what she wants in a home. At 4 years old, she’s already house trained and fully vetted, making the transition easier for her next person. Minnie Pearl was surrendered by her previous owner and needs to be the only pet in the house—she does not get along with other dogs or cats. She’s also looking for a home without children, so a quiet adult-only space is best. She’ll require an adopter who owns their home with a fully fenced yard. Minnie Pearl cannot be adopted outside of NJ, and her rescue will only consider New Jersey applicants. If you’re seeking a devoted, pint-sized companion who enjoys being the center of attention, Minnie Pearl may fit right in. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
