Meet Mouse Mouse is the kind of dog who leaves a little paw print on your heart. This beautiful girl came to us from California, where she was at risk and needed someone to step in. We couldn’t let her story end there, and now Mouse is looking for the family she has always deserved. Mouse is incredibly intelligent, loving, and soulful. She has a gentle, docile nature, but don’t let that fool you into thinking she is a couch potato. This girl has plenty of energy and would love nothing more than a family who will keep her mind and body busy. Whether it’s going for long walks, exploring new places, playing outside, or simply being by her people’s side, Mouse is happiest when she has something to do and someone to share it with. There is something special about her. She is the kind of dog who seems to look right into your soul, and once she trusts you, she gives that love right back. Mouse would be an ideal companion for an active family looking for a smart, devoted, affectionate dog to be part of their adventures. She has so much love to give and is ready to find the people who will give her the same in return. Please consider opening your heart and home to Mouse. She was given a second chance, and now she is waiting for the family who will make it count. Please remember that adoption bios are only a snapshot of each animal. They are meant to give you a glimpse into their personality and story, but there is so much more to learn. Please reach out to our Adoption Team for additional information about Mouse and to learn if she may be the right fit for your home. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?

This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
Mouse would be an ideal companion for an active family looking for a smart, devoted, affectionate dog to be part of their adventures. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
She has a gentle, docile nature, but don’t let that fool you into thinking she is a couch potato. Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
