About Minnie NY

Minnie is a lively senior Papillon/Dachshund mix who has made remarkable strides since her rescue. Once morbidly obese and struggling to move, she has slimmed down significantly with consistent care. Nowadays, she walks short distances and even hops happily for dinner. The thrill of suppertime makes her sparkle as she trots around with newfound energy, including climbing porch steps that she initially needed help with. Minnie has a warm personality. She gets along well with kids, cats, and dogs, and she is impressively 100% house trained—no accidents at all! Although she still contends with some minor health issues due to her size, she's ready to find her forever home. Minnie is currently fostered in Bryan, TX, and we can assist with transport to nearby major cities for her new family. It's time for this charming girl to embark on a new chapter in her life! Think you could be her perfect match?
