My story

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

Miriam is a sweet, affectionate dog with a calm, gentle nature. She loves cuddling and being close to her people, and she has proven to be an easy, loving companion in her foster home. After one small accident on her first day, she quickly settled into a perfect routine. Each morning, she politely signals that she needs to go outside by nudging her foster with her nose, an endearing habit that shows just how thoughtful she is.<br/><br/>Food motivated and eager to please, Miriam trains easily and walks well on a leash. She becomes excited only when she spots a squirrel, a reflection of her curious and playful personality. At home, she is relaxed and content, doing very well on her own as long as she has access to a cozy couch or a soft bed.<br/><br/>Miriam is wonderfully social and loves other dogs. Her favorite outing is to the park, where she is something of a local celebrity. Other dogs flock to greet her, and she happily welcomes the attention. She is also excellent with children, interacting with gentle curiosity and patience as they pet or cuddle her.<br/><br/>Out in public, whether at a coffee shop or a restaurant, Miriam settles quietly at your feet, always hopeful for a small treat. She adores everyone she meets and simply wants to love and be loved in return.<br/><br/>Miriam has been a joy to foster and is ready to bring that same warmth and sweetness to her forever home.
