About this Dog
Mimi’s owner contacted rescue looking for a kennel that wasn’t too expensive to board her. Not quite sure why she wanted to board her. The owner had moved from a house to an apartment because of a divorce. The apartment allowed pets. We gave her the names of several kennels, but two months later, Mimi ended up in a local shelter. She was frantic to get out of the shelter. Now we know why. Mimi does not do well confined. We initially crate a dog when she is going into a foster home until we find out if they are destructive when left alone, how they will deal with any resident pets, etc. We found out that she became frantic in the crate, even with midday walks from another volunteer. The long side of the crate was parallel to the windows, but all she did was put her butt against that side and ram her head on the other in an attempt to open the door. She was gated off in the kitchen with an extra tall, metal baby gate that is fastened to the wall. Mimi started being destructive in the kitchen: pulling things off the counter and destroying them, pooing and peeing, chewing the walls around the gate, pulling apart the gate. When her walker arrived, she was always stressed. After consulting with our vet, we put Mimi on Prozac. There was a time when we scoffed at the idea of putting a dog on drugs, but after research, found it helped many dogs. With the anxiety under control, she has learned new behaviors. She can be crated now when her foster goes to work. She is happy to see her walker mid-day. After walking and some scratching time, she will go right back in her crate. The joyful dog we caught glimpses of is now present most of the time. If humans can have chemical deficiencies in their brains and be helped by drugs, why not dogs? She may have to be on Prozac the rest of her life, a small price to pay for the lovely girl we see now. What a HUGE difference it has made in her behavior !! . Although the owner said she was good with cats and rabbits, that turned out to not necessarily be true. She chased the foster home’s kitties, but not sure of her intent. The kitties stay in a safe area while we are further evaluating. Since she has calmed down, she ignores the kitties more often than not. Mimi is not crazy about car rides. Getting her in the car can be a challenge. She is fine once in the car, but at times refuses to get out. Mimi appears to have never had any restrictions or rules and is having some difficulty realizing that she is not the queen. She is learning to walk well on leash. On the plus side, she is a very joyful dog, who is very food oriented. She loves to “talk” to you, especially upon your arrival. She will grab a toy, wiggling around with it while telling you about her day. Mimi is a tweenie; part American Akita, part Japanese Akita. She has the stockier build of the American Akita and the markings of a Japanese Akita. We knew there was a good dog in there and we found her!!!

Adopt Mimi and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Mimi's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Mimi's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Mimi, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Mimi's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Mimi was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Mimi’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Mimi’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Mimi’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
