UPDATE Mini Has Been Adopted!

Mini is looking for a new home.  She was adopted in 2018 from Lucky Dog Rescue in Washington, DC. She is around 4 years old, although exact birth date is unknown. Mini is located in Vienna, VA.  Mini is not acclimating well to their growing family and is having issues with their 2 and-a-half year old son who is an active toddler. Mini has anxiety and does not respond well to loud commotions and running around. The family is expecting another baby in July, and has come to the realization that their household is no longer the right fit for Mini. They are hoping to find her a calmer, loving home before the new baby arrives.  

Mini has been loved and well taken care of.  She is up-to-date on vaccinations and vet checkups. Recently they elected to surgically repair a herniated disc that temporarily left her partially paralyzed. She has since made a full recovery. We have also tried anxiety medication and a consultation with a behavioral veterinarian. Ultimately, they believe rehoming is the best path forward for her. 

Mini has many positive attributes. She is a huge snuggler who loves to burrow in the covers and keep her owner warm. She also enjoys playing with plush toys and balls and loves spending time outside in the yard, sunbathing or chasing squirrels. She also has an adorable underbite. She would be best suited to a household without small children and other pets. She has had positive interactions with dogs at times, although she can also be quite defensive and reactive, and will clearly communicate her boundaries with a snarl. She is only 10 pounds, after all. She is not aggressive.  She is house trained, and knows basic commands like: sit, down, leave it, and off.   

 The family writes:  “Please reach out with any questions; we would be happy to explain our situation in more detail and also provide more information about Mini.”  Please address inquiries to
