About Mitch

Meet Mitch, a charming 3-year-old Papillon mix looking for a loving home. Mitch has a mellow temperament and thrives in calm environments. He may be a bit cautious when meeting new people but warms up quickly with the right introductions. Once he feels secure, his affectionate and playful nature shines through. He’s friendly with other dogs after a proper introduction, so expect him to enjoy their company, especially if they are gentle. Mitch has primarily been around adults and older children, where he has done well. Due to his sensitive disposition, he would be more comfortable in a home with teens or adults rather than younger children. Mitch is house trained and currently enjoys using a pee pad indoors. He is also ready for outdoor walks, and with a bit of routine, he can transition to outdoor potty habits. Known for his love of ball play, he has some adorable quirks, like snuggling under covers when he sleeps. A special diet keeps him happy, including smaller meals of cooked peas and chicken mixed with kibble. If you’re patient, you'll find a loyal companion in Mitch. If you'd like to know more or meet him, please contact Cynthia at 805-208-4755. Don't miss your chance to add this sweet boy to your home!
