Sarah

My story

Meet Sarah! This sweet, precious girl is learning what love and kindness feel like for the first time. Before coming to Miri's Haven, Sarah spent her life in a tiny wire cage with a backyard breeder who hoped to profit from her. Even though she couldn't produce puppies, she was still confined to the cage year after year. Now safe in foster care, this brave little soul is discovering what it means to be loved, cherished, and free. She is receiving tons of pampering and beginning to understand that life can be leisurely and beautiful - no wire cages in sight, only the finest puppy beds (and maybe a human bed or two!). Sarah is still getting used to interacting with humans. While she isn't sold on too much petting or snuggling just yet, she always wants to be nearby and loves a bedtime head scratch. She is a joyful girl and LOVES playing with toys and rolling around in dog beds. Her favorite sleeping position? On her back with her tongue out, snoring so everyone can hear just how content she is. Sarah absolutely loves food - when she's about to get a treat, she does the most adorable and impressive tap dance to celebrate. She also loves time exploring the yard with her foster sister. She's not housetrained but is happy to wear diapers inside, and she gets along well with both cats and dogs. She walks well on the leash and is happy riding in the car or staying home while her people are out. She is looking for a family who can be patient with her as she learns to navigate her new world and help build her confidence. She thrives on consistent routines and will do best in a calm, gentle home - ideally one that has a fenced in yard and humans who are home much of the time. Sarah has been gaining confidence from dogs who are around her size, so we think she would do best in a home with at least one other fur sibling. Sarah is looking for a forever home filled with plenty of space and the kindest humans we can find. She deserves so much love and we know the right forever family will find her soon - could it be yours? Sarah is approximately 10 years old and 7lbs.
