Etta was left behind in a crate during a Mississippi ice storm; freezing, terrified, and completely alone. When she was found, she was shivering and scared, but safe at last. Despite everything, Etta’s heart is still so very sweet. Once she knows she’s safe, she leans in for love and comfort, soaking up every bit of warmth she can find. After surviving the coldest night, Etta is ready for a lifetime of warmth; soft bed, steady love, and a family who will never leave her behind again All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.

🧠 Temperament
Despite everything, Etta’s heart is still so very sweet. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
