adopted! mariah

Mariah was adopted January 2026!

Mariah is a sweet, affectionate little dog with a charming personality that’s impossible not to love. One of her most endearing quirks is the way she pirouettes as she walks, clearly delighted by the world around her.

Mariah thrives on companionship and would be happiest in a calm home where she can enjoy plenty of attention, cuddles, and quality time with her people. She has a nice balance of energy and enthusiasm, enjoys going for walks throughout the day, and will occasionally treat you to happy zoomies.

Mariah comes when called, knows how to sit, and is eager to please—especially when treats are involved—making continued training very achievable.

Housetraining has been a breeze when she’s taken out promptly after meals. She’ll also let you know when she needs a daytime potty break. Mariah tolerates being crated and is comfortable eating in her crate, though she prefers having free access to the main living areas of the home.

Mariah is hypoallergenic and requires moderate, regular grooming to keep her coat healthy and comfortable.

If you’re looking for a loving, devoted companion and can offer a calm, caring forever home, Mariah may be the perfect match for you. Please complete an application to meet her!
