About Minnie

πŸ†˜ On the euthanasia list Friday, 11/21. πŸ†˜ 🩷🐢 Minnie #A2043900 10/31/25 ? Stray | Boxer/Staffordshire Mix | Female | 1Y 1M | 40.6 lbs | HW Negative πŸ’œ Volunteer Notes: Minnie girl is cute as a button and she's the cutest little pocket pittie size! Outside in the run she is a bundle of energy so I imagine being in the shelter, especially on the corner kennel in the ward, has been super overstimulating for her. She was veryyyy excited during her temp test so she will need another dog who can tolerate her energy since she will need to learn how to tone it down. In the run she was happy to run around but also happy to pose for a treat and strike a pose - she knew how to work it! Miss Minnie will need some training and an outlet for her energy, but she's a sweet girl who deserves that chance! I'm hoping she can charm her way into someone's heart with her goofy, carefree smile! πŸ”Ή Intake 10/31/25 ? 1 dog caught by city personnel, dog was found in the park, Almeda Maintenance Barn. πŸ“ Shelter Notes 11/20/25 ?
