About Miranda

Miranda is a gentle shepherd mix around 2 years old, weighing about 45 pounds (though she’s still gaining weight on her new diet). Her coat is medium in length and a striking mix of black and tan. Miranda isn’t the high-strung working dog stereotype—she prefers easygoing company and a steady, relaxed pace. She enjoys daily walks and likes to lounge with her people afterward. Still, she’s up for a hike or adventure if that’s your thing, but honestly, she’s just as eager to join you on the couch for downtime. Miranda has a gentle nature and good manners. She gets along well with other dogs, is house trained, crate trained, and has solid leash skills. Barking isn’t her style; she’d rather stick close, quietly soaking in your company. She came to the rescue after being found in a rural area, just after having a litter of puppies. Life’s steadier these days, and Miranda is settling in well—spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, with a trusting spirit despite her rougher start. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
