Miss Independent - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption

Meet Miss Independent!

Miss Independent is a friendly girl who loves following people around and sniffing out treats! She approaches readily and enjoys interacting with her handlers. She is still working on her manners and impulse control and can be mouthy during handling, so she would benefit from continued training and guidance.

My Ideal Home

A home ready to help Miss Independent build confidence, practice her manners, and learn to channel her enthusiasm. She would benefit from positive reinforcement, consistent boundaries, and continued work on leash skills.

Good with Kids?

A home without children under 5 is recommended due to her mouthiness and need for continued work on impulse control.

Good with Other Pets?

Miss Independent did not pass her dog-dog assessment, so any future introductions should be carefully managed by experienced adults.

Overall Health

Follow-up veterinary care is recommended, including reassessment of her heart murmur and skin mass, as well as dental care. Her spay surgery is temporarily deferred pending medical reassessment. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 34lbs Age: 6yrs 0mths 0wks

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.
