Mama Minnow

My story

If you know a sweeter dog, let minnow! Hey guys! My name is Minnow and I am a small fry in this big ocean. I am a five-year-old spayed female Hound mix weighing about 85 lbs. I was rescued from San Diego, Texas, and after my puppies found their own amazing homes, I knew it was time for this mama fishie to venture out on her own. I have mastered house-training and potty-training.  I am fully crate-trained, too, and will happily go inside my crate when it’s bedtime and sleep through the night without a peep.  As far as leash-training goes, I am coming along swimmingly and am doing great at meeting other doggie friends while on my leash.  I’ve even learned to sit and stay after leash removal until given the “okay” command.  I’m not the anxious type, but I do get a little fearful if another pup barks at me.  I can easily be redirected, though, with lots of pets and treats.  I am a social and loving girl who enjoys being around people and connecting with them.  Even though I have a mellow energy level and love to relax, going for walks is my favorite thing.  Getting pets is a close second.  I also like playing with my toys and getting treats (I am quite the treat-motivated girl).  I’m also told that I’m intelligent and attentive and will give you plenty of licks in return for pets.  I do well with other doggies if given a proper introduction, and I haven’t spent much time around kitties but don’t seem to have a prey drive.  I don’t have an aggressive bone in my body and am great around kids! I think I’d do well in most homes, as long as it’s one that follows a daily and predictable routine.  Doggie siblings (with a proper intro) would be great, but I’d also do just as well on my own.  Kiddos are A-OK, as well, but they’d have to be fine with the fact that, at my age, I like to relax more than I like to play.  Other than that, give me lots of love and we’ll be best friends in no time. Do we sound like we’d be a great match? My adoption fee is $250 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
