Approximate Age: 5 Years Approximate Weight: 18 lbs Meet Miami: Sweet, Silly, And Patient! Family Friendly: She has done well in a home with a 5 and 7 year old. Animal Friendly: She enjoys the company of other dogs and shows very little interest in cats. Crate Trained: A crate is Miami's safe space. She keeps it clean, quietly sleeps in it through the night, and will voluntarily go in her crate throughout the day. Affectionate: Once she feels safe, she actively seeks out love and pets from her humans. Gentle Soul: Miami responds wonderfully to a patient touch and slow, thoughtful introductions because she can scare easily. Miami is a special girl who had a rough start in life. She is ready to blossom in a home that offers her patience and a lot of love! This sweet and silly soul is looking for a gentle family where she can feel safe and show off her wonderful personality.
