About Mimi

Mimi is just a young pup at 8 months old and weighs around 11 pounds. The shelter environment has been overwhelming for her, leaving her quite terrified. She has only connected with a few staff members and finds visitors especially intimidating, making it hard to see her true personality. Surrendered without any details about her past, we don’t know what life was like for Mimi before her arrival. What’s clear is that she’s in need of a calm and nurturing home where she can feel safe and secure. This little girl deserves a chance to flourish outside of the stressful shelter. Mimi requires someone who can provide patience and understanding as she adjusts. She’s just a baby, and her days should not be spent in fear. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
