Minnie's Story

The biographical information provided is correct to the best of our knowledge while the animal is in our care or includes what may have been provided by a previous owner. We strive to be honest and accurate, but animals can change their personalities and behavior when they settle into a new home. IDR+ makes no guarantees based on the information we observe and provide.<br/><br/>Minnie is a 9.5-year-old Chihuahua/Toy Manchester Terrier mix who is just beginning her new chapter in foster care. After being found as a stray in Chicago and never reclaimed, she’s learning what it means to feel safe and loved again. She is a tiny gal at just 5 lbs.<br/><br/>Right now, Minnie is still taking in all the new sights and sounds around her. She can be a little nervous at first, but she’s settling in more each day. She is getting along well with the dogs in her foster home after a slow introduction, though she prefers calmer companions and isn’t a fan of dogs that are overly energetic or “in her face.” She seems to do well with cats, but young children are a bit too overwhelming for her, so she would do best in a quiet, adult-only home.<br/><br/>Once she feels comfortable, Minnie’s sweet personality starts to shine. She loves to snuggle, especially if she can burrow under a cozy blanket, and she enjoys peaceful time outside in a fenced yard—taking in all the smells of the grass and spring flowers.<br/><br/>Minnie is crate trained and thrives in a calm, predictable environment. She is shy at first and will need a patient adopter who can give her the time and space to come out of her shell at her own pace. But for the right person, Minnie will be a deeply loyal and loving companion.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a gentle, quiet little dog to share your home and heart with, Minnie could be the perfect match.

Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus's Adoption Policy
The first step in meeting our adoptable animals is the breed/species-specific application at www.ILDobeRescue.com. We do a vet check, landlord/association verification, and home visit to ensure a permanent placement for our wonderful animals. Thank you for considering rescue! We look forward to working with you.  IDR+ is a network of foster homes; therefore, we do not have a location to visit. The first step in meeting our adoptable animals is the specific application at www.ILDobeRescue.com for a Doberman, Plus dog (non-Dobe), or cat. Approved adopters are then directed to our foster homes.
