Mimosa
County ID A5169324
Deadline: Tuesday, September 8.
Mimosa is a two-year-old pocket pit who came in scared and shut down after being found on the street, but she's showing more of herself as the days go on—wiggly when you talk soft, food motivated, sweet under the fear. She needs out now, both because she's running out of time and because she's been sick in there for a month.

What the shelter has seen
- Found wandering with another dog, friendly and playful with her companion, allowed all handling from the stranger who picked her up
- Timid in the shelter but softens when handlers give her time—eventually solicits attention, takes treats nicely, lets people pet her head and body
- Lived briefly with young kids and was gentle and friendly with them, indifferent to cats, hasn't learned leash skills yet
- Has had a persistent respiratory infection for weeks and is listed as urgent medical with ten days left
What Mimosa needs
A quiet home with someone who understands a shy dog needs space to decompress, plus commitment to follow-up vet care for her respiratory issue and patience with leash training from scratch. She'll need slow introductions to everything and everyone until she finds her footing.
Everything here comes from Mimosa’s Maricopa County Animal Care and Control record. We leave out the parts that belong between the shelter, the rescue and the vet, and we do not soften what a dog needs. If something changes at the shelter, this page changes with it.
