Meet Minnie

Meet Minnie! A spirited approximately three-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix from sunny Los Angeles, CA, whose essence is a radiant blend of sweetness, smarts, and sun-soaked snuggles wrapped in a fawn brindle and white coat. Minnie is that rare kind of pup who can keep up with your weekend adventures but is just as happy curled up next to you on a lazy afternoon. Weighing in at a fit 50 pounds, she’s the perfect size for outdoor fun and couch cuddles alike! With a heart as big as her smile, she knows all her basic commands—sit, stay, down, come, paw, and wait—and walks well on leash, though she might get a little bouncy when squirrels or other dogs make an appearance. She's been working hard on staying calm in those moments, especially with the help of some tasty treats—her ultimate motivator! A true Southern California soul, Minnie’s love for sunbathing is unmatched. Give her a warm patch of sunshine, and she’ll be in her bliss! She adores toys of all types, especially snuffle mats, squeaky plushies, chew toys, and a good ol’ game of tug. While her fetch game is still a work in progress, her enthusiasm for tennis balls and Chuck-It toys is pure joy! Minnie thrives in a calm, structured environment and would be happiest in a cat-free home with older children. While she can be selective about her canine companions, she may do well with a tolerant, balanced male dog who respects her space. Minnie is crate trained, house-trained, microchipped, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. She does have minor joint issues, so a comfy bed and some TLC will go a long way. Motorcycles? Not her jam. New guests? She prefers slow introductions. But give her time, structure, and lots of love, and she blossoms into a loyal, cuddly companion who loves to give kisses and stay close by your side. Could your home be the sunny landing spot Minnie’s been searching for? Reach out to [email protected] to learn more about this lovable sun-chasing sweetheart!
