Minu is a purebred Italian greyhound rescued from a puppymill.  She is a delicate beautiful fawn colour and about 8 years of age. Despite having spent her entire life in a mill setting, she is very sweet, craving human attention and loving. As an Italian greyhound she is dainty so a adult only home is likely best.  What Minu needs more than anything is human companionship so an applicant that is home more would be the ideal one.
 
Minu is a lovely older lady, with lots of energy and love. She was a 'Mill-dog-mummy' for many years before coming to Loyal, and still is nervous about new situations until she figures out what is going on. She is calm in general, and a cuddle-bunny. She was adopted out, but returned because she likes to have a full time person with her, and that just wasn't possible in her new adoptive home. Minu is house trained with prompting, but will have occasional accidents. She is subtle in asking to go out - so her new family will need to get to know her 'language'. She gets along with other dogs, but is submissive, and hasn't yet really figured out how to play with them. She is good with cats and children, and doesn't show any specific 'people' fears. Being touched or banged suddenly does scare her, but she is always ready to come back for attention. She is learning about a leash - but is still quite anxious outside, and prefers to have my company, not too far from the house. She is a little near sighted. She does love to run to greet me in the garden when she sees me, and explores all the new areas in a quiet way. Years of little or no affection have left her quite needy, and she is learning to be respectful and that there will be times we don't want her beside us or on our laps. She puts herself to bed around 8:00 p.m. and loves to sleep on the bed under a blanket of her own. Minu is funny, friendly, affectionate and loveable. She needs a relatively quite home with someone who wants a companion, and will not leave her alone too often. She is virtually a no-effort dog, and a joy to have around. She has been fully vetted including a dental and having some mammary growths removed, but this is all now in her past. We are wanting to give her the best that life can offer and if your home is one that needs a constant companion, lap warmer, pillow hugger, then please apply for Minu. Before you decide to bring in a furry addition to your family, please take a moment and try to think about your life over the next 10 to 15 years - or even more. Where will you be? Do you have plans to move? Travel? Have kids? Are you able to provide the dog with his or her required exercise demands? Please think very carefully about how this dog will fit into your life as new events may unfold. We want to ensure that this dog’s next home is also its last. If you’ve thought about all of the above and think that you may be the "last stop" we look forward to receiving your application! Please ensure that you submit a fully completed application. Often we receive several applications for the same dog and if you leave out important details then you may be inadvertently eliminating yourself from consideration. Please visit the FAQ section on our website for more details. Thank you so much for considering a rescued dog.
