About Mini Horse ~ WAIVED

Meet Mini Horse, an affectionate 2-year-old male Pit Bull mix who’s as big as a mini horse but just needs a little time to find his footing. Weighing in at 82 lbs, Mini is crate and potty trained, showing great manners around the house. He thrives in the company of other dogs and is particularly friendly, making him a good match for a home with another canine companion. Though Mini is sweet, he lacks confidence and will benefit from a patient adopter who can help him find his routine. He warms up to women faster but is open to developing bonds with everyone given the right time. A loving environment and a steady friend will bring out the best in him. He’s been vaccinated, spayed, and is heartworm negative, so he’s ready for a fresh start in his new forever home. Give Mini a chance to shine and help him become the incredible dog we know he can be.
