About Mindy

Meet Mindy, or as she likes to be called, "Miss Mindy." This adorable six-year-old Chihuahua weighs in at just ten pounds. She's low energy but has a lovely blend of independence and sociability. Her most charming feature is her expressive face, highlighted by her uniquely shaped ears and little eyebrows that give her a perpetual questioning look. Mindy adjusts quickly to new situations. After a short time in NYC, she navigated a car ride, a bath, and even met four different dogs with ease. She gets along well with canine companions of all sizes, and she’s friendly around guests, though she warms up to new people at her leisure. Potty trained both outdoors and on pads, she's a fantastic leash walker and a pro on stairs. When left alone, she settles into quietude without barking or fussing. Her ideal day involves burrowing under blankets, scenic walks, and relaxing on the couch beside her human. Mindy enjoys treats, wet food, and even indulges in dried banana chips. She’s had adventures on buses and trains, frequently joining her foster at work. Mindy thrives in a calm environment, making her perfect for families with adults or older kids. She suits apartment living and is an excellent match for someone seeking a laid-back companion. "She loves to cuddle and create the perfect blanket nest by snuggling under the covers. Mindy isn’t high maintenance, making a relaxed lifestyle perfect for her and her future human." Check her out and see if she's the calm friend you've been looking for! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
