Meet Jada!

Eleven-year-old Jada may be tiny, but she's bursting with life! This spirited senior loves to play, be outside and go for walks. She can give any young pup a run for their money.

Jada is also a certified couch potato. She'll happily snuggle up right next to you, or even on your lap, content just to be by your side.

Despite a recent surgery for bladder stones, Jada has bounced back quickly and is now on a prescription urinary diet to prevent any future issues. Otherwise, this beautiful girl is in fantastic health and ready to be your new family member!

Are you surprised to find a petite pooch like Jada in our shelter? Don't be! Dogs of all sizes find their way to the Humane Rescue Alliance, and Jada is proof that big hearts can come in small packages.

If you're looking for a pint-sized pup, look no further. Come meet Jada today! Learn more at www.humanerescuealliance.org/adopt.
