About Mindy

Mindy is a lively little pup, born in late August 2026 to a resilient Chi-mix mother. While she has a tentative nature at first, she quickly warms up to new friends. When she plays in the yard, her puppy energy shines as she bounces joyfully over wild geraniums. At just 6 pounds, she is expected to reach around 20 pounds as she grows. Mindy thrives around other dogs and can hold her own with cats that have a bit of spunk. She’s already paper trained and making great strides toward being fully house-trained. Mindy enjoys snuggling with her siblings in her pen at night, but once morning comes, she’s ready to play. Given her small size and quick movements, a secure small yard would be ideal alongside a friendly dog to help her explore and learn. Her new family should be agile and attentive to keep an eye on her energetic antics. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
