Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Meet Maria Chiquita, the ultimate canine companion who’s ready to fetch your heart. This playful pup, who boasts an impressive repertoire of tricks — including sitting for treats and following her humans everywhere — has one more talent: redefining what it means to be unstoppable.

Maria Chiquita may only have three legs, but her zest for life is undeniable.

Whether she’s running full speed across the yard or playing referee for her cat and dog friends (she loves them all, big or small), you’ll soon forget she’s missing a limb.

At home, Maria Chiquita keeps her priorities in order. She tucks away her favorite toys and treats in her kennel, saving them for later like the organized queen she is.

But her biggest request? A family who’s willing to give her ear a good scratch on the side of her missing leg. It’s her favorite spot — and an instant ticket to her everlasting love.

So, if you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly, and endlessly entertaining best friend, Maria Chiquita is ready to join your family. Prepare for wagging tails, stolen kisses, and one very full heart.

To adopt Maria Chiquita or see other available dogs, visit Mell’s Mutts.

Prospective adopters must submit an adoption application for review to ensure the best match for each pup.
