Mimi is a 5-year-old, 38-pound female American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a heart full of resilience and love. She was found abandoned and in poor condition but has since blossomed into a happy, playful, and affectionate girl who adores human companionship. Mimi is social with other dogs and can live with cats with proper introductions. She has a gentle, good-natured temperament and is always eager to please, showing her gratitude every day. Mimi is looking for a forever family to cherish her and fill their home with happiness.
