Description:

Hi my name is Minnie. Sometimes my foster mom calls me Skinny Minnie or Mindo. I am looking for a forever home that will have the ability to take care of me medically and understand my special needs. From what the wonderful vets at MARS can tell is that I have IBS. It is very hard for me to gain any weight due to this illness and that is where the name Skinny Minnie comes from. You can see my ribs and my hip bones but I am such a happy playful pup that MARS is doing everything to help me get better. I have a ton of personality and I mean A TON!

I really enjoy spending time with my foster mom and know that I wiill love spending time with that forever family that gives me a chance. I have been working on going potty outside without my foster mom standing right there and I am doing well. I have also been doing really well going on potty pads when I am unable to hold it.

Due to my disease I am pretty much always hungry. I like small meals throughout the day. Right now I usually get 4 meals spread out. I cannot have any extra treats as they can make me sick. I do need a special food but it lasts me a long time.

I have been doing very well without prednisone and now am down to 1/4 a tablet at night. It is a very cheap medication and I hope to be off of it soon.

I am good with other dogs but sometimes I like to be the fun police when my foster brothers and sisters are playing. I usually yell at them to tell them to be quiet.

I would love someone that is home often. Though I go in my crate I am not really a fan but I will sit in there quietly during the day. I do know how to escape out of wire crates so it is plastic crates for me. I rarely have an accident in my crate during the day and my foster mom is gone all day at work.

I am not a fan of little kids and sometimes I can be grouchy and tell you so. Sometimes it is with a nip so it is best that this girl go to a home with no kids or older respectful kids.

I really am a pretty amazing little dog. When most people meet me they fall in love. People are my niche and I really know how to put on the charm.

So what do you say? You want to take me home? Me and you can be best buddies.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
