MISS MOUSE is a sweet little mixed breed girl looking for a home. She looks like a rough (long haired) Jack Russell Terrier mix, but she came from a property with more than a dozen other dogs left alone when their human passed away so heaven only knows what type of mix she might actually be.  She’s 3-4 years old and fully grown at 18 pounds. Miss Mouse is VERY timid. We took 3 dogs from the same home. While the other two were a bit timid, they found homes quickly and have settled in nicely. Miss Mouse, however, was terrified and it took months of tender loving care in her wonderful foster home to bring her around. Miss Mouse needs a quiet home. She feels safest when she has another friendly dog to help her navigate life. She loves her stuffed toys, her comfy bed and belly rubs. She’s happy to come to you for affection but does not like to be picked up. She loves to follow her favorite people everywhere and hops after you like a little kangaroo. Miss Mouse walks well on a leash but can be spooked easily so we’d prefer to find her a home with a physically-fenced yard.  Miss Mouse is okay with older, dog savvy, respectful kids but she’s afraid of small children. She is housebroken and crate trained.

Miss Mouse is tiny and cute but PLEASE read through her requirements carefully to understand her needs before applying. She needs a quiet home with a patient adopter who will take the time to earn her trust. And by time, please understand that it won’t happen in 15 minutes or an hour. It may take days or weeks for her to feel safe. She needs a home with another friendly dog and a physically fenced yard. We believe she would be happiest in a quiet home where there aren’t strangers coming and going on a regular basis. She is only available for private meets; she will not be coming to adoption events. If you’d like to meet Miss Mouse, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org.

All of our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention.
