About Minnow

Minnow is a playful and endearing female Pug/Chihuahua mix who’s looking for a loving home. With a goofy personality, this little one loves to romp around, play with her siblings, and enjoy all the fun a puppy should. She’s a bit shy at first and needs someone patient who can help her feel comfortable receiving affection. When she’s at ease, you’ll find that she can be quite cuddly and loving. Minnow would thrive in a home with a physically fenced-in yard since she’s not yet leash-trained and might not come when called due to her timid nature. She would do best with a male dog for companionship and, while she may chase cats, she can adapt to a dog-friendly one with a careful introduction. Older children, aged 10-12 and familiar with small breeds, are ideal for her. This sweet pup is not suited for apartment living or households with limited mobility. She is ready to find her perfect match. Click apply to start the adoption process.
