🐾 Heartbreaker Alert! Meet Momma, the Sweet and Hopeful Pup! 🐾

Say hello to Momma, a 1-year-old mixed breed cutie (possibly a Cur mix) who has faced a lot of hardships in her short life. Used for breeding and recently abandoned in a house by herself, Momma was found living in terrible conditions. But now, she’s ready for a fresh start and a taste of the good life!

Momma is spayed, done with mom life, and hopeful that a new person will give her a fitting name to match her sweet personality. She loves attention, treats, and being right by her people.

Here are some things we know about Momma:

✨ Sweetest Girl: One of the sweetest girls you’ll meet at the shelter.
✨ Heart-Stealer: Won over all of our hearts in record time.
✨ Patient and Calm: Waits patiently and calmly in her kennel, hoping for someone to notice her.
✨ Shy but Warm: Can be a little shy when meeting new people but warms up quickly.
✨ Perfect Size: At only 40 lbs., she’s the perfect medium size.
✨ Gentle and Smart: Knows how to sit and takes her treats gently.
✨ Playful Spirit: Once comfortable, she loves to play with squeaky toys.
✨ Dog-Friendly: Happy and playful when introduced to dog friends.
✨ Curious with Cats: Friendly and curious when meeting cats.
✨ Good with Kids: Should do well with respectful children who give her time to warm up.

Momma is ready for a forever home where she can be loved and cared for. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet, and playful companion, Momma is the perfect match. Come meet her today and give her the loving home she deserves!



Momma's adoption fee is $150 and includes her spay, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, heartworm testing, and a free wellness exam. If you're interested in meeting or adopting Momma, please complete an application at: inapl.org/adoption-application.
