Hi, I’m Mimi!

Update 1/8/2026: Happy New Year!  I grew up in Manhattan but am living my best retirement in Kentucky. Today, I had my nails trimmed, an ordeal because being constrained triggers my PTSD and I panic!  I can’t hear Foster Mom or the vet try to comfort me.  Doc helps me take a nap.  Today while I rested, doc & Mom took new radiography of my pelvis, low back and tummy. Good news! Everything looks good.   I’m on some increased supplements for my hips & tummy since I still have pain occasionally from my old injuries.  I get small meals every eight hours so my blood sugar stays level and I haven’t had another seizure.      I love walking the rolling field with my sisters and my new foster little friend “Frida”.  My favorite spot is touching Mom’s right side, leg or foot. I love my “wrestle bears”! Thank -you to my human friends who sent me gifts❤️. Love, MiMi

I was rescued from a shelter after being hit by a car.   I had a pelvic fracture and other lacerations.     Even with my injuries, I was happily following my Foster Mommy around!

The Rescue folks planned a flight from Virginia to Kentucky with the amazing Pilot N Paws organization.  So, now I am in my foster home in Kentucky where I have been recovering well (check out my videos to see me running around!).    Once my pain and fear subsided, my very gentle loving, calm, happy, friendly personality has come out! I just want to be a lap dog. I stretch out at Foster Mom’s feet gently snoring beside my two foster sisters.  I love to gently play rolling wrestle and mouth (ever so carefully) my human’s fingers or my teddy bear.  I also enjoy playing with my “Knotty Bear”!  I love any type of treat shared from a loving hand. I have perfect house manners, having recovered from my pelvic injuries. I sit quietly, not begging, while the family eats. I am a wonderful girl. I like the company of other dogs.

Now that I have gotten more active and my pain medications reduced, we have learned that I am deaf.  Foster Mommy has trained me to use a vibrating collar and hand signals so that I can be safe.  Check out my video to see my training gear.

I had a seizure in February 2025, so we have decided that I will be staying here with Foster Mommy.  With me being an older gal and deaf, and now the seizure, we think it would be too much for me to have to be moved to another home.  I love it here, so that is the best news for me!
