Meet the enchanting Mikaela! This spirited little lady is a delightful terrier/jack russell mix, standing proudly on short legs that could easily pass for an adorable blend of corgi and chihuahua. 🐶 Born around June 8, 2024, and tipping the scales at just 19 pounds, she's got all the charm in a pint-sized package! 💖 Mikaela's journey has been filled with twists and turns. She arrived at the rescue hoping for a better life after coming from a home bustling with too many dogs. With her affectionate heart and gentle spirit, Mikaela is eager to find that special someone who can shower her with love and patience. 🌟 Her remarkable markings and one mesmerizing half-blue eye reveal her unique personality. Despite being a little shy, you can just feel her heart longing to trust and be loved! ❤️ She thrives in the company of other dogs, so if there’s a furry friend or two already in the home, she’ll fit right in! 🐕 But let's be real, Mikaela would do best in a calm, quieter household that can appreciate her shyness and give her the space she needs to blossom. 🌼 Now, here’s something to keep in mind: Long-distance adoption is tricky! Mikaela needs someone who can meet her where she is—within a two-hour drive of Orange County. If you're further than that and feel a calling to this sweet girl, please reach out to see if she might be a candidate for long-distance adoption. 📍✨ And oh, let's not forget—Mikaela is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has undergone a temperament evaluation to ensure she’s ready for her new loving home. 💼🐾 When you adopt Mikaela, you'll be part of a journey filled with love, growth, and lots of snuggles! 🥰 So, if you feel a connection and have the heart for her, it’s time to **apply through the Buddy App** today! Mikaela is waiting for that special someone to bring her home! 🏡💖 Every pup deserves a chance, and Mikaela is just one heart away from finding hers! Let’s give her the love she’s been dreaming of!
