About Mariah

Mariah is five years old and has spent the last few years growing into a fun, affectionate Terrier mix. She lights up for a game of tug or a walk around the block, and she’s always happiest when she can run in the yard or hop in the car for a mini road trip. If you’re looking for a dog who enjoys the outdoors as much as she loves a cozy couch, Mariah strikes that balance nicely. At home, Mariah is playful but also has a gentle, loving side. Once her energy’s out, she’ll curl up for a cuddle. She does best with older children or solo adults who can keep up with her activity level. A home with a securely fenced yard (six feet high) is really a must so she can play safely. She’s spayed, microchipped, and her vaccinations are current. Mariah would prefer not to live with cats but gets along with dogs and children. She’s house trained and fostered in Tyler, TX, ready to join her new family—just in time for the holidays.
