Compatibility: Great with other dogs; not tested with cats.
Miracle is a joyful, affectionate girl who loves being close to her people. She’s happiest when she’s part of the action — whether that’s following you around the house or curling up beside you for a nap. She’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day to share her love and companionship.

🏡 Ideal Home
Miracle would do best with a family or individual who can spend plenty of time with her. She’s great with other dogs, so she’d fit right into a home with furry siblings about her size and a similar activity level. Her gentle nature and easygoing personality make her a wonderful match for anyone looking for a loyal, loving friend.
🌟 Why You’ll Love Her
Her name says it all — she’s a little miracle of joy and love. She’ll greet you with a wagging tail, follow you from room to room, and remind you every day how special it is to have a dog who truly adores you. And after everything she has overcome, she’s ready to give her whole heart to the person who gives her a forever home.
Brandy (F) & Bella (F) - A bonded pair in Chandler, Arizona (suburb of Phoenix)
Can these little faces be any cuter? We don’t think so. Brandy and Bella, our two gorgeous little princesses, are ready for their second chance.
Brandy is an eight‑year‑old, 9 lb. sweetheart. She’s been diagnosed with diabetes, now managed with twice-daily insulin injections with her meals, which she’ll need on an ongoing basis. She also has Cushings, although she takes her liquid Vetoryl easily and seems to be feeling better. Bella, her nine‑year‑old, 16-lb. sister, is a true lovebug in every sense of the word who just wants to be near or touching you. If you want to hear squeals of joy, you’ll get them when you return after leaving the house.
Brandy and Bella are deeply bonded to their foster dad and will follow him all around the house. If you’ve ever dreamed of leading your own fluffy parade each day, they are absolutely the girls for you. They must lay in his office while he is working. And they MUST sleep in his bed. They adore their daily walks and will give you quite a workout - they’re speedy little troopers. Both girls are spayed, fully vetted and vaccinated. While they are doing well in the housetraining department, they would do best in a home with a fenced-in backyard and a doggie door, so they can let themselves out when they need to potty. As we fine‑tune Brandy’s diabetes medication, she sometimes needs an extra potty break or a quicker trip outside — completely normal during this phase. She’s a tidy, reliable, and wonderfully cooperative little girl who truly tries to keep her routine, and she’s already improving.
Brandy and Bella apparently had some rough times in their early years, and they can be nervous and fearful. Brandy is very afraid of bigger dogs. Bella is a little diva who prefers to be the alpha and gets along beautifully with dogs who let her lead. She will also bark at strangers if dad is nearby - her way of making sure he’s safe. She loves stuffed toys (especially removing the squeaker). Because of their sensitivities, we will not place them with children.
We are looking for a patient, experienced adopter who is home most of the time - someone retired or working from home would be ideal. These girls are amazing, tender souls who just need reassurance that the world isn’t scary and that love is forever.
If you would like to experience their loyalty, devotion, and gratitude, please apply to adopt them. You’ll be giving two deserving girls a second chance at a happy life. It doesn’t get much better than that.
