Mimi

Introducing our fluffy big baby...Mimi!!!

Mimi is a cheeky lady wrapped up in a big fluffy affectionate coat! She pretends to be a stereotypical aloof Maremma when she first meets you.... until she gets home! Once she knows you, nothing in this world will stop her from getting her cuddles in. She loves your attention, weather it's playing in the yard, training with treats or snoozing on your lap in bed.

This beautiful girl is a Maremma Sheepdog, and while she may look like any other cuddly and cute pup, they are actually a very unique breed with some important requirements. Maremma's have been carefully bred over the centuries to be livestock guardians, and like Liam Neeson in Taken they have "a very particular set of skills"... Being a Maremma, Mimi would love to live on a fair bit of land where she has lots of room to roam around and enjoy life! She's a high energy girl, with lots of zoomies and playful energy to run out!

We think she may have been a duck in a previous life, this girl LOVES water!! Any chance she gets to splash around and play in the water is her favourite day ever. In fact, any form of playtime (in the water or not) will make this girl beem with joy! Many, many toys is her desired amount to play with- she has no preference on which is the best one, they're all good!

Mimi can feel conflicted when it comes to meeting unfamiliar dogs, but she may be suitable to live with another well-matched doggy sibling. If you have a dog at home, make sure to bring them along to the shelter to do a meet and greet with Mimi. Even if you don't have another dog at home, it is important that if Mimi is meeting other dogs in the future you take the introductions very slowly and make sure it is a gradual and positive experience.

If you think that Mimi could be the perfect addition to your life, please come down to the shelter to meet her today!

Mimi <3

*Please ensure any resident dogs and household members are present for the meet and greet.*
