Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Cranston, Rhode Island

If you’ve ever wanted a tiny best friend who insists on being included in everything, meet MIA. She is a 3 year old, female, 25lb little lady looking for love in RI. She has a long body, a confident strut, and very strong opinions about being left out. If you walk by her kennel without saying hello, she will absolutely let you know that this is unacceptable behavior. Mia adores people and is happiest when she’s right in the middle of whatever you’re doing, preferably getting belly rubs or being reminded how cute she is.

We’re not quite sure what Mia is mixed with, but whatever it is, it works. She’s got this scruffy, one of a kind charm that draws everyone in instantly. She does have a cherry eye, which just adds to her unique little look (and honestly, kind of makes her even more endearing).
She loves going for walks and has the most adorable strut. Mia can be a bit unsure around other dogs and tends to bark, but we’re still figuring out if that’s excitement, questionable communication skills, or her way of saying “I have thoughts.” Because she can get a little anxious at times, she’d likely do best in a home with kids 12+ who can respect her space. She is up to date on vaccinations and has been spayed.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

As a non-profit shelter we are committed to the rescue, quality care, and adoption of companion animals into forever homes....
