About Mitzi

Mitzi came to us after being owner-surrendered and is now ready for a fresh start. This affectionate girl is around 3 years old and weighs about 48 pounds, making her the perfect medium-sized companion. She’s housetrained and crate-trained, and though she can be shy initially, she opens up beautifully once she gets to know her people. Mitzi loves to snuggle on the couch and play with her foster siblings, so a little patience will reward you with her unwavering love. She enjoys running and playing, gets along well with dogs (as long as they aren’t too dominant), and has even taken to car rides like a pro, soaking in all the sights around her. Mitzi has mastered leash walking and loves cooling off in a kiddie pool during warm summer days. She's spayed, vaccinated, and has received treatment for heartworms. All she needs now is a kind heart to help her understand safety and love. If you think you can provide that, she’ll be forever grateful! Think you are the one? Submit an application!
