Mindy came from a shelter in West Virginia. The shelter only had outside facilities and on a very cold day in January the shelter director called Willing Hearts Dalmatian Rescue about Mindy. Willing Hearts rescued her from the cold. We got her for a companion to our Dalmatian Fletcher and she has been wonderful. She and Fletcher are inseperable, she really has been everything we hoped for. She has the nicest personality of any dog I've ever had. She loves to cuddle on the couch and give kisses. She loves to play tug-of-war and loves her morning belly rubs. She's a bit of a sneak though, Her bed is next to my bed and she tries to sneak up onto my bed during the night. It's really hard to resist her when she does that so she often "gets away with it". We love her dearly, she's a great addition to our family.
