Adopt Me Adoption Guide
Energy Level 2

Energy Level 2 - Likes to go for short walks but mostly is a lounger. Does not require much interactive play.

Miss Minnie is a 14-pound pup. She is likely around 10 years old but has the energy and joy of a much younger pup. She came into rescue with Daisy and while the girls do well together, they can be adopted separately and probably would benefit from being apart. Minnie was recently groomed but appears to be a long-haired pup akin to a Shih Tzu mix.

-Adventurous and independent – likes to explore and hop up on chairs and sofas to get a good view of things

-Has been fine when left loose in one room for the day

Minnie Minnie is currently being fostered in Doswell, VA.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.

This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
