Backstory:
Meet Negrita—a sweet, playful soul from Mexico with a heart full of love and a bright future ahead. At just 1.5 years old, Negrita has already overcome a difficult beginning. She was rescued from a bad environment, but despite it all, she has remained incredibly loving, friendly, and full of joy. Her resilience truly shines through in everything she does.

This beautiful potcake mix is the perfect medium-sized companion. Negrita is wonderfully social—she gets along great with men, women, kids, other dogs, and even cats. She absolutely loves attention and will happily soak up all the pets and affection you’re willing to give! Negrita has a playful spirit and a medium energy level, making her a great match for both active families and those who enjoy a balance of fun and relaxation. She’s house trained, rides well in the car, and is working hard on her crate and leash skills. She’s not much of a barker, only speaking up if she hears something unusual, and she has no issues with food aggression or destructive behavior.

Whether she’s playing with her furry friends or cuddling up with her humans, Negrita just wants to be part of a loving home. A yard would be a bonus for her to enjoy, but she can also thrive in an apartment with the right exercise and care. After everything she’s been through, Negrita is more than ready for a fresh start with a family who will cherish her forever. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and happy companion, Negrita is waiting to meet you.

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.
