About Mindy

Meet Mindy, a spirited young dog who packs a lot of energy into her small frame. Although she’s almost 1.5 years old and weighs about 12 pounds, her enthusiasm for running knows no bounds. Mindy has made great strides after surgery on her back legs, enabling her to stand tall and play freely. While she adores those her size and thrives in a yard, she can be a bit wary of larger dogs, often barking at them, even on the screen. Her ideal home offers a securely fenced yard, as apartment living isn’t suited for her adventurous spirit. With some training still ahead, her leash manners could use refinement, especially as she loves to zigzag in front of you. Mindy shows her vocal side in the morning, eager for attention, although she prefers resting on laps over snuggling tight. Please note, she has a sensitivity to chicken, so attention to her diet is important. Mindy is fully vetted, spayed, and excited to find her forever home. If you think you're the right match for her, apply today to meet this charming girl!
