Mariah - Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Knoxville, Tennessee

Hi, I'm Mariah, a spirited 3-year-old black and white shepherd mix ready for my next adventure! I'm spayed, energetic, and smart as a whip - I would LOVE a fenced yard to explore and lay in, and I love engaging with my people. I'm affectionate and friendly through and through. My mischievous side keeps things fun and interesting, I'm silly but really all I want is to be by your side.

I get stressed in small confined places, so I'm in foster right now to give me a break from my kennel. Please contact the staff at Humane Society in Tennessee Valley if you're interested in meeting me!
