Hi everyone. This is Minnie Mouse, a 1 year old Anatolian Shepard mix (we think) who is currently a resident of Seattle Humane in Bellevue, Washington (just outside Seattle). Minnie was transferred to Seattle Humane from a shelter in Olympia, WA with a badly broken front leg that we don't know the history on. The leg had healed too far to be fixed, so it was amputated on 7/31/24. Minnie is doing really well post amputation and gets around just fine. She was pretty underweight when she came to us, so we've been working on getting her to a healthier weight. She's incredibly affectionate and she's our go-to dog for training new volunteers because she loves every person she meets. She's dog reactive on leash but we haven't actually been able to have her meet another dog, so we don't know how she'd do with another dog in a home. It would be required for her to meet any pets that she may be living with and our behavior team will be happy to help facilitate the introduction. We were lucky enough to get a Ruffwear Flagline harness donated for her and her adoptor can keep it if desired. Here's a link to her profile:

Please reach out to Seattle Humane via adoption@seattlehumane.org if you have questions. I can answer some questions but I'm just a volunteer and part of her fan club. Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting about this sweet pupper. It has been approved.
Hopefully someone will see this (since we all love tripawds💖) who can give her a wonderful furever home!
Thank you for all you do as a voulunteer💖

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Deanna, can you email me a really good photo or two so I can share? The pics on their website are teeny. If you'd like to try uploading here, this is how adding images works. If not feel free to send me one or two here.
I just sent photos to the email address you provided. Thank you! I looked at the adding images post and video before I posted and thought I had it figured out but still managed to mess it up. Sorry! Tech is not my thing.
Got 'em! Thank you. And thanks so much for spreading the word about Tripawds too!
