About Minnie CO

Meet Minnie CO, a senior papillon/dachshund mix who's undergone an incredible transformation. When she arrived at our rescue, Minnie was struggling with obesity and could barely move about. With dedicated care and a focus on her health, she's now zipping around with glee, going from slow walks to joyful spins during supper time. Minnie may still tire out quickly, but she's come so far! She's even started to tackle the porch steps on her own. While she occasionally grapples with vaginitis due to her previous weight issue, we're committed to helping her. This sweet girl is a joy to have around. She gets along wonderfully with children and other pets, doesn’t bark, and is truly house trained—zero accidents since day one. Minnie is ready to find her forever home and continue her exciting journey in comfort. Currently residing in Bryan, Texas, Minnie can be adopted nationwide with no extra cost for transport to the closest major city. Embrace the opportunity to give Minnie the loving home she deserves!
