Meet Mini
Breed: Staffy X Collie
Barking from: New Brighton , Christchurch
What's up dog?
Mini had a rather horrific introduction to our world when Brendon found her dumped on his doorstep close to dead when she was still a tiny pup. Luckily she found herself in the hands of a loving and devoted human, she grew up around kids and other dogs and had a remarkable life full of adventures. Fast forward to 2022, where she's spending every night sandwiched between her favorite humans. She Explores Aotearoa with them, goes on exiting trips where she meets new friends, she's an old girl and the centre of attention wherever she roams. These days she's taking it a lot slower, long hikes have turned into small laps of her favorite meadow in the red zone where she's happy rolling in the long grass and having a sniff sesh amongst the Daisy's. Mini will be 16 soon and we can't wait to celebrate with her. She has been a light in my life and has touched so many others. She has shown me what real love feels like and seeing her beautiful smiling face each morning makes everything else take a back seat. We have been so blessed she's stuck around this long, but lately she's been looking so frail.
