Story
This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $200 if picked up in TN, $275 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Meet Mimi, a smart, water-loving girl whose eyes light up with adoration once she knows she is safe. This Chihuahua mix, likely with Feist based on her brindle coloring, is just over a year old and weighs around 21 pounds. She carries medium energy and a busy, curious mind, and she absolutely lights up around water- a hose, a sprinkler, or a baby pool is basically her idea of paradise. She also loves her chew toys and stuffies, and when she finally winds down, there is nothing she loves more than curling up in your lap or against your chest for a snooze. Mimi takes time to warm up to new people and new situations, and she will need a patient family willing to let her set the pace as she settles in. Once she feels secure, though, she becomes playful, silly, and deeply affectionate, the kind of dog who looks right into your eyes like you hung the moon. She does great with other dogs and cats after a slow, proper introduction, and she should do well with calm, older children too. She is fully housetrained and loves her crate, treating it like her own cozy treasure chest. She walks nicely on a leash and enjoys car rides and outings with someone she trusts. Mimi tends to bond more quickly with women, though with time and patience she has warmed up to her foster dad as well. She would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard and a dog playmate to romp around with. If you have the patience to help a sweet girl find her confidence and the love to give her once she does, Mimi would be so lucky to meet you.

THIS PET IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE! We do list and adopt our pets nationwide. Typical transport cost to the Northeast is $180. Due to interstate adoption regulations, we are not able to adopt to RI and MA state residents. A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue and Fixin' Inc.) http://aarf-tn.com/ is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) no kill animal rescue organization located in the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee. A.A.R.F. is comprised of unpaid volunteers and survives only on public donations. Thank you for thinking adoption first! Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption. July 22, 2026, 10:03 pm
