Notes from TLC K9 Rescue

Meet Mini — A Tiny Girl Who Truly Deserves Her Happily Ever After ❤️

When we found little Mini on the streets of Tijuana, she was absolutely starving. It was obvious that this precious 10-month-old puppy had been dumped and left to fend for herself.

During her veterinary exam, we discovered that Mini was pregnant. She was far too young, weak, and severely malnourished to safely carry her babies. Sadly, because her little body was so depleted, she lost her babies.

My heart broke for this tiny girl. She was still just a baby herself, yet she had already endured hunger, abandonment, and the loss of her puppies.

But Mini’s story doesn’t end there. ❤️

Today, she is safe, healthy, and finally getting the chance to simply be the puppy she was always meant to be.

And what a wonderful little girl she is! Mini is playful with all dogs, wonderful with cats, and I’m absolutely certain she would be wonderful with children, too. She has been fully vetted, vaccinated, and microchipped.

After everything Mini has been through in her short life, all she wants now is what every little dog deserves — a family to love her, a warm bed to sleep in, someone to spoil her, and a place she can finally call home.

Her beginning was heartbreaking, but we are determined to give her the happy ending she deserves. ❤️

Please help us find this tiny girl the family she has been waiting for.

What happens next

  1. Contact TLC K9 Rescue using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to TLC K9 Rescue, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the dogs care guide so you arrive prepared.
