About Minnie

Meet Minnie! She’s a big girl with even bigger paws, so don’t be surprised if your neighbors mistake her prints for a bear in the yard. This 100-pound Mastiff arrived at ACCT Philly as a stray, and it’s clear she wasn’t made for the rough streets. At around four years old, Minnie has certainly had a past — possibly raising a few litters — but she’s ready for her next chapter in a loving home. Despite her size, Minnie has the gentle spirit of a 10-pound lap dog. She embraces everyone she meets, from men to strangers and fellow dogs. Fully house trained and crate trained (though she's not a fan of the crate), she loves to lounge and cuddle. Minnie thrives in a home with a yard, as she isn't suited for apartment living. Experience with large breeds like Mastiffs is essential, and she'd do best with older children due to her strength. While she is great with dogs and other animals like chickens and goats, cats are a definite no. Ideally, she would love to meet a medium or larger dog companion. She’s been doing wonderfully on a poultry-free diet, helping to keep her skin issues in check. All this sweet mama desires is a cozy spot to nap and some people to love and protect. Ready to make Minnie your new best friend?
