About Mitzi

Mitzi is a sweet girl who found herself needing a fresh start after being owner-surrendered. Now under the care of CPR, she’s about 3 years old and weighs around 48 pounds. As a housetrained canine companion, she brings a gentle spirit into her foster home. Though shy initially, Mitzi opens up and becomes incredibly affectionate once she knows you. She enjoys snuggling on the couch and playing with her fellow foster pups, although she prefers companions who are not alpha in temperament. This lovely girl delights in car rides and easily walks on a leash. With a little patience and TLC, she will flourish and shower her forever family with endless love. Mitzi has been spayed and is up-to-date on vaccinations. She has also received heartworm treatment and is ready to find her forever home. If you can offer a nurturing environment where she can thrive, Mitzi will be eternally grateful. Come meet her and witness her transformation. This could be the start of something paw-some.
