Meet Minnie

Hi Everybody:
My name is Minnie and my doctor says I am a Labrador Retriever x Terrier mix and that I am about 3-4 years old. I was very malnourished When Purple PAWS rescued me and my foster dad said I looked like a “skinny Minnie” so they named me Minnie. I weighed 36 pounds when I was rescued but am about 58 pounds now and my doctor says I am a healthy girl at a good weight.
I am very friendly but it might take a few minutes for me to warm up to you. I want to be with my people whenever I can. I can get a little anxious if you leave me outside but I am OK once I know you will come back. I have never been destructive (except for the stuffed toys I destroy). I love being pet and especially getting my belly rubbed. I am getting good at walking on a leash and starting to play fetch. I love to play tug-o-war and might grab loose clothing or material that is waved in the air so we can play. I love playing with my foster sister out in our playpen. When I am indoors I am happy to sit or lay by your side. I might sleep on your bed but am happy to be in my dog bed in your room.
I am an active girl and I need a home where I can run and play. A farm or a home with a big fenced yard would be ideal. I would not do well in an apartment since I bark at unknown noises and need a lot of exercise. I do not like things that make high-pitched whiney noises like vacuum cleaners. Lawn mowers running close by can frighten me. I am starting to learn that they will not hurt me and am getting better around them.
I am good with other dogs but we might need a slow introduction to get to know each other. I would not do well at dog parks or other places where there are lots of dogs that I do not know. I am great with cats and will give them nose kisses but I will back away if they hiss at me. I would enjoy being an only dog and getting all your love but having a fur sibling my size to play with would be my dream come true. I am good with the chickens but might chase or catch if they flutter or run.
I am mostly house trained and do well if I get outside often. I will sit and take treats gently and I am getting pretty good at “heel” “let’s go”, “sit”, “stay”, “come”, “leave it”, “walk slow”, and “go to the house”. I can get distracted on walks by things that need to be checked out like frogs or new smells but we are working on keeping my attention on you.
I am looking for the family that will be patient and is willing to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. In return, I will be your best friend forever.
I am spayed, fully vetted, up-to-date on vaccinations and preventatives and ready to find my fur-ever family to love. If you think I am your dream girl, you can apply to adopt me at purple-paws.org. My adoption fee is $200 which helps cover my spay, vaccinations, doctor visits, and other expenses.
