My name is Minnie - Stratford!

Are you ready for a bundle of energy and love? Minnie, a delightful large breed mix young pup, is on the lookout for her perfect forever home. This adorable girl is full of life and excitement, but she's also a bit shy and is seeking a family who understands her unique needs.

~ Minnie thrives in a very active environment, so if you're an outdoorsy family looking for a companion to join in on your adventures, Minnie could be your match made in heaven! She's not suited for apartment living; instead, she dreams of a spacious home with room to roam and play freely.
~ Minnie will be a large breed mix when she's fully grown.
~ It's important to note that Minnie would benefit from a family experienced with working breeds. She's eager to learn and respond well to positive reinforcement training. To ensure her success and happiness, Minnie's adoption will require signing up for three in-person mandatory training classes. These classes will not only enhance her obedience skills but also boost her confidence and help her reach her full potential.
~ Minnie is also looking forward to having a canine friend by her side. She thrives in the company of other friendly dogs who can show her the ropes and help her feel secure.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to Minnie, please submit an application today! Let's give this sweet, spirited girl the loving family and active lifestyle she deserves. Together, we can embark on a wonderful journey of love, learning, and endless tail-wagging adventures!
