MIMI

Sex: Female 
Age: 3 Years 3 Months (Nov 2024) 
Size: Medium (25-30kg) 
Location: Currently in Turkey, awaiting adoption 
Needs: A home with plenty of playtime, love, and attention 

Mimi is an energetic, fun-loving girl who brings joy to everyone she meets. Rescued from a horrific death shelter in Turkey, Mimi was just a puppy when she fought to survive and ended up being the only survivor from her group. With no future in sight, Animal Friends of Turkey (AFOT) was asked to step in and take over her care.

Mimi has blossomed into a confident, playful dog who loves affection and always wants to be the center of attention. She lives at our sanctuary in Turkey with other dogs and is very social, but she can be a bit bossy, especially with other females. Despite this, she’s happy to play with everyone! Her ideal home would have another male dog for companionship, but she could also thrive in a home where she gets plenty of dog interaction outside of the home. Mimi is also cat-friendly, making her a great candidate for a multi-pet household.

Mimi is full of energy and always ready to play! She loves being stroked and fussed over, and her sweet nature makes her a delightful companion. While she’s lead trained, she could use a bit more work on walking nicely on the lead, as she tends to pull. However, Mimi is very clever and quick to learn, so with a bit of patience and consistency, she’ll soon be a dream to walk. She’s also very obedient and will wait for food on command and come when called.

Mimi’s stunning brindle coat—black, fawn, and white—makes her impossible to ignore. She’s not only beautiful but also intelligent and will make a wonderful addition to any family. Her ideal new family will provide her with plenty of love, exercise, and training to help her reach her full potential.

At 3 years and 3 months old, Mimi is ready to find her forever home. She’s neutered, vaccinated, and chipped, and is eager to begin the next chapter of her life. A home check is required, and while there is no adoption fee, a voluntary donation to help with rescue costs would be greatly appreciated.

Mimi is currently in Turkey, but we’ll help her get to the UK once the right home is found. All dogs are tested for Brucella, Leishmaniasis, Anaplasma, Heartworm, and E-Canis before travel, and proof of testing and signed vet letters will be provided to the adopter.

Could you be the one to offer Mimi the loving home she deserves?

If you think you could offer Mimi the forever home she’s been waiting for, please check out our adoption process via Adopting With AFOT. There, you’ll find everything you need to get started, including our adoption form. A home check is always carried out, and while there’s no fixed adoption fee, we do kindly ask for a voluntary donation to help with our ongoing rescue efforts.

Important Information

All our dogs will be tested prior to leaving Turkey for the following diseases:

BRUCELLA
LEISHMANIAS
ANAPLASMA
HEARTWORM
E-CANIS

Proof of tests and accompanying signed vet letters will be sent to adopter.

A home check is always made.

We provide a lifetime rescue back up (RBU) and work to DEFRA guidelines.

While there is no adoption fee required, we do ask for a voluntary donation to help towards our costs of between £595-£795. Each dog costs us on average £2500-£3000 to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome and our adoption donation is only a small proportion of this.

We rely solely on fundraising for the remainder plus any emergency treatment needed to help these abused, neglected and abandoned animals which are often in horrific condition and desperate need when they come into AFOT care.

Every penny we raise goes towards rescuing another dog, so even if you decide not to rehome one of our dogs today, please consider a donation so that we can continue to rescue another dog in the future.
