About Minsky

Minsky is 39 pounds of pure, energetic love wrapped in a gorgeous, eager-to-please package. She bursts out of her crate with excitement, ready to greet anyone willing to say hello. With her bright eyes and hopeful spirit, she's the kind of dog who makes you feel like something wonderful is about to happen. She's friendly, sweet, and so ready to find a family, though she requests that family be without cats as she is not about the felines like she is ALL about the humans. Minsky wants to explore this big, fascinating world, but she'd much prefer to do it with someone by her side. Are you the someone who can show her that new things are exciting? Give her a little reassurance, and she'll give you her whole heart. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's eager to grow, learn, and adventure with you, Minsky is waiting. Don't miss your chance to help this lovely girl blossom. During a sleepover, she loved trail/nature walks (far more than sidewalk) and was genuinely so curious about her surroundings; it was such a pleasure to watch! She is very food motivated, so it was easy to get her to follow short commands with a treat. She is also very smart and eager to learn. During her stay, she quickly picked up commands like "sit" and "shake" and was already making great progress with "lay." Anybody who is going to adopt Miss Minsky is going to be showered with all the love she has. She is a lovely girl, she is very gentle, she listens and understands commands. She is initially shy, but she steals your heart eventually.
