Story
Minnie – From Chained and Forgotten to Cherished and Hopeful 2-year-old Border Collie mix | 34 lbs | Gentle with dogs, cats, farm animals, and kind souls For nearly two years, Minnie lived a life no dog should ever know—chained to a doghouse, forgotten in the yard, and left to survive on scraps and the kindness of two women who brought her food and water when no one else would. When she gave birth to a litter of puppies in the cold, those same women couldn’t stand by any longer. They asked the man of the house if they could take her and her babies—and just like that, Minnie’s life changed forever. Safe at last, Minnie and her pups were brought to a warm farm where they could rest, heal, and simply be loved. Surrounded by chickens, cows, and horses, and visited daily by kind neighbors who stopped by for cuddles and praise, Minnie slowly began to understand what it meant to be free. To be wanted. To be seen. All of her puppies were adopted—except for two. And while she waits for her forever home, Minnie is learning to let go of the fear and sadness she once knew. Now in foster care, she glides across the pasture with the graceful beauty of her Border Collie heritage. She may still be shy when first meeting new people, but it doesn’t take long for her soulful brown eyes to meet yours, quietly asking for a gentle pat or a soft word. Minnie is kind. She’s easy with other dogs, respectful of cats, and calm around every animal she’s met. She’s thoughtful and observant, and with just a little patience and love, there’s no limit to what she could learn or become. Her intelligence runs deep—but so does her heart. After all she’s endured, Minnie deserves more than just a home—she deserves a life filled with peace, understanding, and joy. A soft bed. A gentle hand. A forever family that will see her not for the pain she’s endured, but for the love and light still shining inside her. If you believe in second chances and quiet miracles, Minnie is waiting for you.Please email ccrtennessee@gmail.com to learn more or apply to adopt this incredible girl.
