Miss Minnie is an approximately 5-year-old miniature pinscher with a loving, playful attitude and the most soulful brown eyes you have ever encountered.  Minnie’s trust in people and love for life is incredible. She was found abandoned in Martinez, California with a large, potentially life-threatening inguinal hernia. Thanks to the amazing efforts of volunteers and doctors at UC Davis Veterinary Hospital, Minnie’s hernia was surgically repaired. She has recovered swiftly, and is ready to find her forever home. 

Like many small dogs, Minnie has luxating patellas. While this condition gives her a funny walk, it does not cause her any pain. She is able to run and jump about like any other dog.

Minnie’s favorite things are: staring adoringly up at you, finding her way determinedly into your lap, zooming around the house with her little nub tail tucked, sunning herself on the warm carpet, and romping through the grass. Minnie has gotten along very well with dogs and cats at her foster home, as well as all people she has encountered. 

 Due to her very small size she will likely do best in a home without young children or large, rambunctious dogs.   

 If you are looking for the sweetest, most loyal lap dog to spoil, dress up, and cuddle forever- Minnie is your girl.

Thank you so much for your interest in one of our adoptable dogs. If you have questions, please e-mail (dogs@yolospca.org). Our volunteer adoption committee will do its best to answer your inquiry within 24 to 48 hours.

If you are interested in adopting please read the following to expedite your application.

1. Return to our website at http://www.yolospca.org

2. Fill out an adoption application at http://bit.ly/1PIWjIA

3. If you are interested in meeting multiple animals please put all their names on one application. 

4. The adoption committee will email you to confirm receipt of your application as long as you have an email address listed on your application. 

5. If the dog is a good match for your family, a volunteer will call you to set up a meeting. The Yolo County SPCA is a volunteer run organization and are usually only able to call back if the dog would be a good match for your family based on the information received from the volunteer foster families. 

All of our canines are altered (spayed & neutered), puppies are started on their shots (DAPP), adults are up to date (rabies and DAPP) and have been heart worm tested (negative) and all dogs are microchipped. The adoption fee is $150 (which covers all of these costs) for all dogs and $200.00 for puppies under 1 year old. 

THERE IS NO SHELTER FOR YOU TO VISIT BECAUSE WE ARE A FOSTER BASED ORGANIZATION. IF YOU ARE READING THIS THEN WE ARE STILL ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS, WE REMOVE OUR ANIMALS FROM OUR SITE WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED.

The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit animal rescue organization. All of our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. For more general questions please visit www.yolospca.org or contact us through email at (dogs@yolospca.org).
