About Mini
Don't let the name fool you, Mini may only weigh 3kg, but this tiny girl has an enormous heart and enough charm to steal everyone's! Equal parts lap dog and little comedian, Mini has the cutest habit of bouncing like a bunny whenever she wants to be picked up. Once she's in your arms, she'll happily reward you with endless kisses in exchange for belly rubs.
Mini is the definition of a velcro dog. She'll follow you from room to room, curl up in your lap whenever she gets the chance, and patiently wait by the door for you to come home. If you're looking for a constant companion who just wants to love and be loved, Mini is your girl.
She's mostly toilet trained and is doing wonderfully, though she'll appreciate a family willing to continue reinforcing her routine with patience and encouragement.
❤️ Health
Mini has been diagnosed with early-stage B2 Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease (MMVD). This means she has a heart murmur and some enlargement of the left side of her heart, but she has not developed congestive heart failure and is currently showing no signs of illness related to her heart.
Mini is currently on cardisure tablets, twice daily. Her future family will simply need to factor in ongoing monitoring, including an echocardiogram in approximately 6–9 months to assess whether her condition has progressed and additional meds are required. Aside from this, Mini enjoys life just like any other little dog and isn't letting her diagnosis slow her down.
🏡 Ideal Home
Mini loves being part of the family and would thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not. She's happiest snuggled beside her favourite person and would love to be included in everyday life. Because of her tiny size, a home with minimal stairs would be ideal to help protect her little joints and keep life easy as she gets older.
⚡ Energy Level
Mini is the ultimate cuddle bug. She's perfectly content spending most of the day snoozing in your lap or beside you on the couch, with a few gentle strolls each day for toilet breaks and plenty of sniffing adventures. Her little legs aren't built for speed or distance, and she's much more interested in investigating every interesting leaf than setting any walking records.
👶 Suitability with Children
Due to her tiny size and gentle nature, Mini would be best suited to a home with calm, older children (10–12+) who understand how to handle small dogs respectfully.
🐾 Suitability with Other Animals
Dogs: Mini is friendly with the dogs she's met and would likely enjoy the company of a calm, similarly sized canine companion. She also wouldn't mind soaking up all the attention as an only dog.
Cats: Mini hasn't lived with cats, but she has shown curiosity rather than concern when seeing them. With slow introductions, she may be able to live peacefully with a cat.
If you're searching for a tiny best friend with an enormous capacity for love, Mini is ready to fill your home—and your lap—with cuddles, kisses, and companionship. She may be small, but she's guaranteed to make a very big impact on your heart. 💕

Adoption details
We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form.
For Cats: https://form.jotform.co/92940837256870
For Dogs: https://form.jotform.co/80677377750872
Please use these links rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile to streamline your enquiry.
Our foster carer will contact you when we receive your application to arrange a time for you to meet with their foster pet.
We want your adoption through Maggie's to be a good experience so we will occasionally suggest a different cat or dog that may suit your situation better and the needs of the individual pet.
All our pets leave for their new homes on a two-week trial. At the end of the trial, we will transfer the microchip into your name and provide you with the pets vet certificates. Once you receive the Certificate of Identification from council, your adoption will be complete.
Please consider, that a Maggie's Pet is a pet for Life, before adopting.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
