About Mittens

Meet Mittens! At five years old, Mittens is a sweet, easygoing girl ready for a fresh start. This lovely brown-and-white mixed breed girl was rescued from a partner shelter, where she spent nearly a year waiting for someone to notice her. She was sadly scheduled for euthanasia, but thankfully, that’s not where her story ends. Now, she’s finding her way to a loving forever home. Currently settling in, Mittens enjoys lounging in a sunny window while soaking up the warmth in her foster mom's home office. She is starting to discover the joy of toys and occasionally gets a bout of the zoomies, but generally, she's a laid-back companion who entertains herself quite well. Mittens gets along well with other dogs but is just as happy enjoying her own space. She knows basic commands and has adapted beautifully; she appears to be both house-trained and crate-trained, making her a delightful houseguest. After so much waiting, Mittens deserves a family that will cherish her for life. If you’re seeking a mellow, well-mannered companion who loves sunny naps and being near her people, Mittens could be the one for you! Her next chapter should be forever. Could it be with you? ❤️
