Mimi is a 6-year-old, 30-pound Wheaten Terrier whose gentle spirit takes time to emerge. Though technically not yet a senior, her quiet, sensitive nature makes her a great match for a calm and patient home. Mimi is very shy and easily startled, and it may take a week—or longer—for her to feel safe around new people. But with a slow approach and a lot of kindness, she begins to let her guard down and show her sweet, trusting side.
