About Myrtle Moore

Meet Myrtle, an approximately 11-year-old, 7-pound sweetheart who was found as a stray suffering from flea dermatitis. Thankfully, she was rescued and is now in foster care, receiving treatment and healing beautifully. We suspect she'll be even more gorgeous in a month or two! Myrtle is a senior lady who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and all humans she meets. She seems incredibly grateful for kindness and has settled in perfectly, blossoming into an affectionate lapdog who adores attention, comfy beds, and especially treats. Myrtle is missing many of her teeth and part of her jaw, but this doesn't affect her ability to enjoy her meals. It's also clear she's had puppies in the past, but those days are behind her as she was recently spayed. She's now searching for a loving companion to spend her golden years with.

Ideal Home

Myrtle would thrive in a home where she can be showered with affection and enjoy a comfortable, quiet life.

Ongoing Health

Myrtle is currently being treated for flea dermatitis and is healing nicely. She is missing many of her teeth and part of her jaw, but this does not impact her appetite. She was recently spayed.

Training & Support
