Mariah the Fetch Queen Still Waiting for a Forever Home Despite Her Many Talents

In a surprising turn of events, Mariah, a vibrant and intelligent 3.5-year-old rescue dog, remains unadopted despite showcasing an array of impressive qualities. Her latest online appearance, where she confidently displayed her tennis ball skills with the energy of a true Wimbledon contender, garnered attention but somehow not the one thing she truly needs — a family.

Mariah is the definition of a full-package companion. She is crate and potty trained, knows a wide variety of commands such as sit, down, wait, and even “go to bed” and “find it.” Her intelligence and trainability are evident in everything she does, whether it’s learning a new trick or navigating a new environment.

Her personality is equally exceptional. Loyal and deeply affectionate, Mariah is happiest when surrounded by people and has a particular love for male dogs. While she’s more selective with female dogs, it’s not out of aggression, just preference. As for cats, her behavior remains an open question, which makes cautious introductions necessary.

She is entering the prime of her life, full of energy, joy, and curiosity. Recently, she has embraced her summer side, enjoying relaxing tunes and discovering a passion for yacht rock, proving she’s not only sporty but also has a chill, music-loving soul.

Mariah’s playful spirit is balanced with moments of deep calm and affection. After a day of running, fetching, and playing, she’s just as happy to curl up beside you for a quiet evening. She is a dog who matches energy with love and excitement with loyalty.

It’s hard to understand why a dog so well-rounded, healthy, and emotionally attuned hasn’t found a home yet. Perhaps what she really needs isn’t more attention, but the right person to recognize what a gem she truly is.

Mariah is ready to start her next chapter with someone who will love her as deeply as she will love them. She is not just looking for an owner — she is waiting for her best friend, her teammate, and her family.
