Meet Mirabelle!

Her life goal right now is to play with other dogs, so she is desperate to find a forever home with another active playmate that will match her energy. Mirabelle was found with a broken leg hiding under a bush. She had been living on the streets with her mom and litter mates and hiding out in an abandoned basement. After being rescued her leg was splinted but due to complications, had to be removed early. The sores from the splint have nearly healed, her femur has started to calcify and she has started to bear weight on her leg. The vet expects a full recover. As you can see in the video, her injury isn't slowing her down - she has full-on playful puppy energy. Mirabelle will need training and guidance to curb her puppy teething/biting/chewing behaviors. She's a girl who likes to get dirty - loves water and puddles even if they're muddy. She's currently trying to figure out that whole vacuum-monster thing, and the many mysterious house noises of everyday life. She's also been noticing a wiggly tail that follows her around all the time, and despite her spinning efforts to catch it, it just won't leave her alone.
