Mindy is a female Chihuahua mix puppy who's vibrant and playful. We estimate her to grow to around 20 pounds. She has a lovely tricolor coat and is currently living in Chinle, AZ with her siblings. Mindy is vaccinated, paper trained, and well on her way to becoming house-trained. Though not yet altered, she’s friendly with both dogs and cats, making her an excellent addition to any loving household.

About Mindy

Mindy is a spirited little pup, born near the end of August in 2026, and life has already thrown her some challenges. Her chi-mix mom displayed incredible determination to keep her litter safe after being dumped, and though three pups were caught, we hope the others found loving homes too. At just 6 pounds, Mindy is a bundle of joy and will likely grow to around 20 pounds. She may take a moment to warm up, but once she feels comfortable, she exhibits a playful side that’s hard to resist—bouncing around the yard like a tiny gazelle over wild geraniums. Mindy thrives among both cat friends (especially those with a bit of attitude) and dogs of all sizes, making her social and adaptable. Currently, she’s paper trained and making strides toward full house training. She has a cozy pen for sleeping at night, always ready for morning playtime as soon as the sun rises. Mindy will do best in a secure, small yard where she can frolic safely. Ideally, her new family would include another friendly dog to show her the ropes of fun and active companionship. Transportation for adoption is flexible in the Four Corners area, and Blackhat Humane Society is eager to find her the perfect forever home. Every little Mindy deserves to shine!
