About Mimi

Mimi came into our care after being surrendered, having moved through several homes. This charming Lhasa Apso is around 6 years old and weighs about 10 pounds. Mimi is a petite and delightful companion. She walks delicately on a leash and enjoys being held, often choosing to sit on laps for extra cuddles. She is reported to be house trained and adapts well to living indoors. However, Mimi prefers to eat alone; she doesn't like to share her food with other dogs. If her new home has pets, separate feeding is a must, and all bowls should be picked up once everyone's finished. Mimi is an easygoing girl, ready to bring joy to the right household. Could she be the perfect addition to your family? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
