About Myrtle

Meet Myrtle! This sweet girl came to us from CACC as an owner surrender. She has lived harmoniously with two similar-sized dogs and is currently fostered with smaller dogs, showing her friendly nature. Myrtle would thrive in a home with other dogs or as a solo companion, as she loves human attention. She walks beautifully on a leash and while she gets excited when she spots small animals, she doesn’t pull. House training is a breeze for her; she quickly goes outside and patiently waits for her treat afterward. Myrtle also remains calm in the car. Her favorite activity? Belly rubs! Just a gentle glance at her, and she’ll eagerly roll onto her back inviting you to rub her belly. Myrtle prefers to be close to her people, whether you’re cooking in the kitchen or watching TV on the couch. While she enjoys companionship, she also does well alone at home. Ready to meet Myrtle?
