Meet Minion – The Easygoing Adventure Buddy Who’s Thriving in Foster Care

Minion is a standout boy with classic black-and-tan markings and an athletic frame — the kind of pup who naturally turns heads. Behind his handsome look is a sweet, steady, and gentle nature that makes him easy to love.

Now thriving in a foster home, Minion is proving just how amazing he really is. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, is fully house-trained, and even has great manners — he sits and waits politely for his food. Out and about, he’s a star: he goes to outdoor restaurants, settles calmly under the table without begging, and walks beautifully on leash.

Minion also gets along great with cats and shows a soft, patient side with puppies. He enjoys outdoor fun, loves exploring, and would make an excellent hiking or adventure companion. After a day of activity, he’s just as happy to relax by your side.

If you’re looking for a well-mannered, athletic, and loving companion who’s already proving himself to be a total gem, Minion might just be your perfect match.

Watch my video on my meeting cats! (As part of our dedication to the welfare of all animals under our care, we conduct basic cat testing for dogs brought into our rescue. However, it's essential to understand that while we strive to assess their compatibility with cats, we cannot guarantee their behavior in all situations.)

History: This pup and his four siblings were found at the local garbage dump with their mother. All pups tested positive for Parvo. All of Minions siblings sadly passed. Minion has made a full recovery.

Before leaving Cortez Rescue, all dogs will be given a full medical assessment to ensure optimum health, current on vaccinations, and spayed/neutered. All dogs are micro-chipped before leaving Mexico.
