About Mimi

Mimi is a delightful 1.5-year-old German Shepherd with a sweet face that mirrors her lovable personality. She’s in the process of learning leash manners, basic obedience, and crate training, making her the perfect candidate for a patient adopter. Mimi does well with other dogs and is beginning to enjoy playtime with them, which reflects her social potential. At her recent VGSR event, she impressed everyone with her calm demeanor around people, showing little interest in other dogs. Given her need for structure, Mimi would thrive in a home where someone has German Shepherd experience. She requires a fenced yard and would do best without children or cats, ideally with another young GSD to help guide her. If you feel you can provide the right environment for Mimi, she’s waiting to meet you!
