Hi! I’m Minerva!

Minerva is a character, and she'll provide entertainment for years to come. She's a typical shadow and lap pug who loves adventures, no matter how small or large they are.

Minerva is a sweetheart who is active on her walks, in the yard, and at the park. She's constantly on the move but knows when it's time to settle down and is happy to be on top of you (that's her stipulation). 

She's headstrong, and it's quite entertaining. When she wants to do something, she'll find a way to do it. She's got the most amazing little smile, and seeing her so happy in the car with the wind in her face is so joyful. She also makes the funniest groaning & whining sounds!

She's good with most dogs (prefers to be alpha). She reacts to other female alpha energy with aggression; while she and my own alpha female pug have found common ground, it took a lot of patience. She's protective of her "person" and will push any dog out of her way to get to me if they're getting my attention. She's not interested in toys, but she loves to play with me, whether I'm chasing her or trying to tickle her.

She’s pee pad, doggy door, and crate-trained. She’s polite with kids, and can handle alone time. To consider: she barks at cats. She'd thrive as an only dog or in a multi-dog home where she'd be the queen bee!

Minerva would be happiest with someone to follow around all day. She just wants to be touching you, whether you're on the couch, standing in the kitchen, in the car, etc. A home that takes her outdoors to the park or in a grassy yard would be great - she's thriving in the Bay Area weather and greenery.”
