More: Minnie is an energetic, quirky and loving rescue who we adopted when she was 8 weeks old. Minnie just loves to run and be with her pack from the dog park. On one hand, she is very independent and knows exactly what she wants. Sometimes that to be pet and cuddled and other times just to be left alone. On the other hand, she wants to please, has her advanced obedience, has begun agility training and definitely protects us and our home. I can’t remember what life was like before she came into ours.
