Mitzi Horn, a Wonderful Dog Ready to Be Your Best Friend

Mitzi Horn Is waiting for you at PAWS.

Sniff, sniff… you smell good.  Can I come home with you?  I really want a home and even from here I can tell we are a match.  My name is Mitzie Horn.  I am a one-year-old black and white puppy.  I can’t give you a pedigree since I am a combination of things as you can see.  But I think I really turned out to be quite sleek, elegant and special… a one of kind.

I am a very happy and friendly girl.  I have met one other dog here about my own size and I love to play and wrestle with her.  I also love to chase balls and play with stuffed toys.  I have a special toy I keep in my cage when I can’t be outside playing.  Outside is where I love to be.  I can run there and I do laps around the fenced in yard at the VCA Wakefield, where I am currently being fostered. I might just make a good companion if you like to go jogging.  I don’t have my leash manners yet, but don’t pull much so I know I will be a good leash dog once you teach me how that works.

I am very smart and eager to learn all kinds of things: how to sit, lie down and obey your commands.  I think I might like to do some special training for agility or Frisbee catching.  Or we could just take long walks together.  I am young, so I plan on many years as your companion. We have lots of time to get to know each other and discover our favorite activities.

I am so grateful to PAWS and the VCA for taking care of me.  When I first got here, I was very scared and shy.  But I quickly realized that everyone is my friend.  Ok, so I jump up a little too much.  That is because I love everyone and want to kiss them.  I did say I haven’t been to school yet.  I can learn whatever you teach me and be your perfect dog.  I am already house-trained and have not had one accident since I’ve been here.  So, you see, I am ready to go home with you and start our life together. 

The sky is the limit for us.  I just want you for my own.  After all, every dog needs a person or persons to love.  So, what do you say?  Call me now and I can be home for the holidays, your one and only, unique wonder dog.
