My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Beauty is more than skin deep and that sure is true with Minnie. This gorgeous senior pyr is a sweet, calm, and peaceful lady with excellent house manners and a great love for her family – especially kids! Minnie is approximately 9 years old and a true pyr.
What does that mean?
Well, be prepared for:
1. Great loyalty from a calm, steadfast dog.
2. Hearty barking at falling leaves and squirrel farts. But, Minnie does not bark excessively at night and can be redirected. Also, she has a pretty mellow bark.
3. Love of the outdoors. This dog loves to be outside. You’ll find her napping under a tree or just lounging quietly while her family goes about her business.
4. A tish of stubbornness that can be overcome with some gentle cajoling.

Minnie is crate trained and loves her crate. She goes in willingly and sleeps or chillaxes. She is also house trained and can be left alone unattended in the home. Minnie is great on a leash and does not pull. She’ll need time to acclimate to the sounds and quick movements around her (she starts off shy but warms up) but is a delight on a leash. Minnie even goes to work with her current fosters where she charms the employees while sleeping the day away! Minnie has had some skin issues but her hair is coming in nicely. She enjoys being groomed. She LOVES children and is okay with other dogs. Minnie would also be fine as an only dog. She really enjoys being around people and stands nicely to be pet. She is not a picky eater and is okay in a car (we are practicing car rides with her daily).

Minnie would make a wonderful companion dog. Her forever family will be lucky to have her.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
