About Minnie

Minnie is a delightful young female Schnoodle, just one year old. She weighs 9 pounds and boasts a mostly miniature Schnauzer appearance, highlighted by her uniquely adorable ears—one often standing upright while the other flops down. This charming little girl originally came from Tennessee and, while she was somewhat shy at first, she quickly adapted to her foster home, where she now joyfully mingles with eight other dogs. Minnie thrives on playtime, especially enjoying the company of younger pups. Though she can be cautious around strangers, she’s not aggressive and is ready to blossom in a loving home. Because she's spayed and microchipped, Minnie is all set for her forever family. Her future adopters will need to commit to a basic obedience course, ensuring Minnie grows into the best companion possible. If you're looking for a loving addition who can bring joy and playfulness, Minnie might just be the perfect fit. Ready to open your heart? Hit apply and let’s get started!
