About me Hi, I'm Mimi! I'm young and full of life. I'm a goofy girl, always ready to play and make you laugh. My energy is contagious, and I love to share it with everyone around me. I'm also very friendly, I'll wag my tail and greet anyone who comes my way. I get along great with cats, so if you have a feline friend, we'll be best buddies in no time. I'm housebroken and can use a doggy door, making me a perfect indoor companion. Adopt me and you'll have a loyal, fun-loving friend who'll brighten your days with endless joy and laughter. My adoption fee is a bargain! Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it includes my spay surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and even some cool coupons!
