About Mitsy

Mitsy has a quirky, bunny-like bounce and sits right at the cusp of medium size—just under 30lbs. Still young at about a year old, she’s got a terrier/Chihuahua look with her own fun twist. Mitsy thrives around other dogs, darting after them in chase games in the backyard, then happily curling up for a nap or chewing a toy. She’s snuggly, sweet, and drawn to laps for affection. People are her favorite, but she needs a bit of time to warm up—especially with new faces or sudden noises. Once she does, she’s all in with her silliness and top-notch cuddles. Housebroken and well-behaved in her crate, Mitsy settles quietly overnight and when left alone. She’ll need a fenced yard so she can let loose with her trademark zoomies. Her playful nature would fit best with kids 8 and up who can respect her skittishness. Mitsy hasn’t been cat-tested. If you want a companion who loves to play and then loaf contentedly beside you, Mitsy fits the bill. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
