About Mingo

Mingo is a charming scruffy boy with big ears and wiry hair that lend him a uniquely adorable look. While he's social among his pack, he’s still finding his confidence after a background with limited human interaction. With the support of a trusted female handler, Mingo is learning to trust people and find joy in socializing. He’s made wonderful progress, often venturing out to explore the yard and engage in playgroups. One significant leap for this shy pup is his newfound habit of greeting humans—a great step forward! Though he still struggles with handling, his growth is evident with each interaction. Mingo is dog-friendly, enjoys his playgroups, and responds particularly well to female handlers. He needs a patient, supportive home that can provide a calm atmosphere and perhaps a friendly dog companion to continue his development. With time and care, Mingo is destined to become an incredible companion. Mingo and his littermates will be in Elgin, IL the second week of July. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
