About Mindy

Mindy is ready to find her forever home! This affectionate and lovable one-year-old, 14-pound spayed Yorkshire Terrier is a true gem. After being rescued from the streets of Baltimore, she thrives on playtime followed by cozy snuggles. Mindy’s favorite snack is cheese, and she enjoys getting as close as possible to her human—even curling up on your head! However, she does have a few specific needs that her future family should keep in mind. Mindy prefers to be the only pet, as she does not get along with other dogs or cats. She also thrives on a consistent routine and would be happiest in an adult-only home or one with older teens. Mindy has epilepsy, which means she experiences seizures. Thankfully, she’s on effective medication and takes her pills like a champ, never letting her condition get in the way of her cheerful spirit. She would do best in a single-family home or a townhome. Mindy is eager to bring immense love into a family that understands her special needs. If you think you can provide her with the life she deserves, apply today!
