About Mirella

Meet Mirella, a 2-year-old sweetheart weighing in at less than 10 pounds. Rescued from a hoarding situation in Texas, she has blossomed into a calm, affectionate, and playful little companion who is ready to find her forever family. Mirella is potty trained, crate trained, great with kids, and enjoys the company of other dogs. She's a quiet, easygoing girl who loves being close to her people. Whether she's curled up beside you while you read or snuggled in her cozy bed, she's happiest spending time with those she loves. Her foster family can't help but laugh when she suddenly starts chasing her own tail, showing off her silly side. While she has a low energy level overall, she enjoys her daily walks and is wonderful on a leash. In fact, being outside is her favorite place to be. Each morning, Mirella lets her family know it's time to start the day with a little bark, followed by breakfast and a nice walk. After that, she's content to relax, chew on her favorite toy, and soak up all the love and attention she can get. With her non-shedding coat, sweet personality, and gentle nature, Mirella is the perfect combination of cuddly companion and loyal best friend. She's ready to leave her past behind and start her next chapter with a family who will cherish her forever.
