Pet of the Week: Meet Minnie!

LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Laredo Animal Care Services is looking for a forever home for Minnie, a Chihuahua mix.

Estevaun Delgado, foster program coordinator for LACS, said Minnie is four months old and close to turning five months old.

“She wants to be the little princess,” Delgado said. “She wants to be the baby in the family kind of thing, so she likes that. But you call her, she comes right over, and again, she just wants to play, and she just wants to be with you.”

Delgado said Minnie is not expected to grow much larger, though her feet indicate she may get a little bigger.

He said she is fully vaccinated and was sterilized this past weekend.

Delgado said anyone 18 or older can adopt Minnie by going to the shelter and completing an application.

LACS is looking for volunteers ahead of its fall events, Delgado said. He said people 16 and older can visit the LACS Facebook page or call the shelter to get a QR code and complete an application. Orientation is now available online, and volunteers can also visit the shelter for a walk-through.

Volunteers can earn community service hours by playing with the animals, including Minnie, Delgado said.

To adopt Minnie or learn more, call (956) 625-1860 or visit the shelter at 5202 Maher Ave.
