About Mariah

Mariah is an energetic girl who loves to play fetch until she's ready for a good cuddle session. She’s friendly and athletic, having been discovered roaming the streets alongside two other dogs. After being picked up by a Good Samaritan, Mariah and her friends became part of the search for a forever home. At around 2-3 years old, Mariah is considered a rat terrier mix, weighing in at roughly 20 lbs. Although she thrives with play, her affectionate side shines through when she receives kisses and cuddles. Currently living harmoniously with two small dogs, they share meals and snuggle time without any issues. Initially a bit shy, Mariah grows more confident in a safe environment, especially when treats come into play. She walks well on a leash and can adapt to a home with cats if introduced properly. Her ideal home would feature patient owners and children over 10, along with potential canine companions. Ready to make a difference in Mariah's life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
