Retriever and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Los Angeles, California

Meet Miranda from our Devil Wears Prada Litter!

Miranda was one of three tiny puppies found dumped inside an old tire without their mom. Despite such a rough start, she has grown into a confident, affectionate little puppy who is embracing everything life has to offer.

Miranda may be the smallest of her siblings, but she certainly doesn't let that slow her down. She's curious, adventurous, and always eager to explore. Her foster describes her as incredibly sweet and snuggly, and while she enjoys playing with her siblings, she'd often rather be curled up with a person soaking up attention.

This smart little girl was the first of her litter to figure out how to use a grass pad and is already showing how quickly she learns new things. She's also surprisingly confident for her size and isn't afraid to put her siblings in their place when they get a little too rowdy. Miranda loves watching the resident dogs in her foster home and does her best to copy everything they do.

Since Miranda and her siblings were found without their mom or dad, we can only make an educated guess on breed. Based on their appearance, we believe Miranda may be a Retriever mix, possibly with some Labrador Retriever mixed in, and we expect her to grow into a medium-sized adult, likely around 35-50lbs. full grown, though this is only our best estimate. She has the sweetest expressive eyes, a soft black coat with an adorable white chest patch, and a gentle personality that makes it impossible not to fall in love with her.

Like any young puppy, Miranda will need a family committed to continued training, socialization, and all of the adventures that come with raising a puppy. In return, she'll bring endless cuddles, laughter, and companionship to her forever home.
