From the moment you meet Mindi, you can feel there’s something truly special about her.
This sweet Lab mix has a quiet strength and a heart full of love. Though her journey started in a rural shelter where her future looked uncertain, one compassionate vet saw past her neurological quirks and believed in her. He saw not a problem to be fixed, but a beautiful soul who deserved a chance at life—and maybe, even more than that, a real home.
He welcomed her into his life, giving her a safe place to rest and heal while he searched for someone who would believe in her the way he did. That belief led Mindi to us—and now, finally, to a warm foster home where she’s experiencing all the things every dog should: soft beds, cozy crates, freedom to stretch her legs, and, most importantly, love.
And Mindi? She’s blossoming. 💛 She’s incredibly gentle with cats and kind around other dogs, even if she’s still figuring out how to play. Her little wobble makes her movement uniquely hers, and while she might stumble now and then, she keeps going—with courage and grace. Because of this, we think a home with older kids (10+) would be best as she continues building her confidence.
Mindi loves her walks and trots along with enthusiasm—though she’ll need someone steady on the leash. She enjoys soft toys, yard time, and, like a true Lab, she’s highly food-motivated (meals in her own space help keep her happy and relaxed). She’s also a bit of an escape artist, so a securely fenced yard is a must.
One of Mindi’s most endearing traits? She’s a “leaner”—gently pressing into you for reassurance, connection, and love. She’s house-trained, sleeps soundly in her crate through the night, and always wants to be near her people. She doesn’t ask for much—just a safe place to belong and someone to love her as deeply as she’ll love them.
Today, Mindi is surrounded by people who believe in her. Her past doesn’t define her—it’s only the beginning of a beautiful new chapter.
We know her perfect match is out there. Someone kind, patient, and ready to welcome a truly special dog into their heart.
Could that someone be you?
