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.
