My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Miami is a spry senior who says age ain’t nothin’ but a number- this girl has plenty of pep in her step!! Miami arrived at the shelter as a stray, but is so friendly it’s clear that she was loved by someone at some point in her life. Here’s what some of her volunteer pals have said about her:

“When you meet this sweet, happy, bouncy, cheerful, affectionate gal you’ll think she’s a puppy instead of a senior! Her upbeat attitude is so enjoyable and contagious - you’re definitely going to want to take this cutie home. Miami really, really, really enjoys people and is very receptive and friendly. She gets excited for everything – walks, treats, toys, attention – you name it. She’s a wiggly gal but is also well-behaved and easygoing. She enjoys just about every type of treat you care to offer and she takes them very patiently and gently and will sit for them. She also loves to be petted and is easy to leash up and a great walker with little to no pulling.”

“I spent time in the kennel with Miami today and she was immediately friendly and eager to greet me- her tail started wagging and she was happy and lively. She easily accepted pets and solicited my attention. She greatly enjoyed every type of treat I offered her, and she took them very gently and knew how to sit for them. She’ll make a loving and devoted companion for the right person.”

Miami unfortuantely was diagnoised with rectal cancer and may need follow up by any adopter for further care. Please email pacc.medicalfoster@pima.gov with any questions.

Miami would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to make sure it’s a good fit, or may love to be your one and only- more attention for her that way! Ask to meet Miami today!!
