Story
Sweet minnow was found as a stray in South Florida and is suspected to have been dumped. She is very petite but seems to have had some training.
Minnow is a high-energy, intelligent, affectionate girl who has a whole lot going for her. She’s confident, curious, playful, adventurous, food and toy motivated, and very handler focused. She has plenty of energy when it’s time to go, but her foster says she is also perfectly happy to just hang out when the day is done.
One of Minnow’s biggest strengths is how much she enjoys training and wants to work with her person. Her foster describes her as “super smart and very eager to please,” which has made training with her very easy. She already knows several commands, including sit, down, stay, leave it, shake, and place, and she is continuing to work on her leash skills. She may not be a finished product yet, but she is the kind of dog who gives you plenty to work with—and genuinely enjoys the process.Around the house, Minnow is house trained, crate trained, sleeps through the night, and does not counter surf or chew inappropriate things. She can still benefit from some supervision, but overall she has a great foundation of house manners. She handles alone time well and does well with visitors, nail trims, loud noises, and the vacuum. Baths are one of the few things her foster hasn’t been able to fully test yet because of her recent spay.Minnow is social and playful with other dogs and has shown respectful behavior with them. She has also had exposure to children and a variety of everyday environments and experiences. Her report card reflects a dog who has already had a good amount of real-world exposure while in foster and continues to learn how to navigate new situations.
She can occasionally be unsure in certain situations and may bark when she doesn’t quite know what to make of something. Car rides can also vary—sometimes she is nervous and other times she relaxes. These are areas where continued exposure, patience, and clear guidance will help her continue building confidence.When she isn’t working that busy brain, Minnow enjoys her spiky ball, beef sticks, and being as close to her person as possible. Her favorite place to nap? Right in your lap. So while there is plenty of dog here for someone who wants an active companion, there’s an affectionate side waiting for you at the end of the day, too.
Minnow’s foster believes she will make a fantastic companion for an active household and recommends an experienced owner who understands that a smart, high-energy dog needs more than just physical exercise. She’ll thrive with someone who enjoys training, provides structure and consistency, and wants a dog they can continue learning and doing things with.
Minnow has the energy to keep up, the brains to learn, the desire to please, and apparently the firm belief that she is still lap-dog sized. With the right person, there is a lot of potential packed into this girl.
