About Mimi D

Mimi D comes from Arkansas and has the sweet, earnest energy that makes you want to scoop her up and let her know she’s safe. Most days, she wears an unsure expression like she’s still sizing up her new world, but when trust kicks in, she’s truly loyal and wants to stick close. You’ll see her eyes light up when you come home or give her a little attention—underneath her caution, she really does crave comfort and affection. Mimi D is happiest when cuddled up close, often content to sleep through the night snuggled right against you. She gets along nicely with other dogs and shows no hint of aggression. Cats also get a pass; she fits in peacefully with feline friends. She’s still working on confidence, and sudden changes can have her scurrying to a cozy corner. House-training isn’t quite perfect yet—she’s getting the hang of outdoor routines but sometimes forgets and goes again inside. Leash walks are a puzzle, too; she’s uncertain when attached and tries to wriggle away. She hasn’t mastered basic commands, but with some gentle patience and calm repetition, she will catch up in her own time. Mimi D is in Minnetonka, MN. Her birthday is May 6, which makes her a determined Taurus—don’t be surprised if her persistence shows during training. Click apply to start the adoption process.
