About Mitzee

Click apply to start the adoption process. Mitzee is a gentle and kind Lab mix, possibly with Greyhound or Whippet ancestry, estimated to be around 10-11 months old. She rides beautifully in the car and loves everyone she meets, radiating sweetness and affection wherever she goes. Living inside with her foster family, she has become skilled at using the dog door and is comfortable sleeping through the night—she quickly adapted to her new environment and loves soaking up every bit of attention and love offered to her. Mitzee continues to gain new skills daily, but could still benefit from additional leash training. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is friendly with all people. Given her playful, energetic nature—she's quite the jumper!—Mitzee will need a securely fenced yard, at least 6 feet high or topped with hot wire for added peace of mind. With a little extra effort in training and fencing, you’ll have a loving and loyal best friend for life. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
