Mrs. Mia Wallace

My story

Meet Mrs. Mia Wallace! A gentle seven-year-old German Shepherd/Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky mix from La Jolla, CA, whose quiet grace and soulful eyes offer comfort, companionship, and a love that’s as steady as her sigh before settling in for a snack. Cloaked in a stunning blend of beige and black, she carries herself with the kind of calm charm that makes you forget the world outside—preferring naps, light strolls, and the softest corners of your home, inside or out. Mrs. Mia Wallace (yes, always the full name, in true iconic fashion) is as memorable as her namesake from Pulp Fiction, though she leans far more toward sweet than sassy. She weighs about 70 pounds, but her spirit is feather-light—gently polite, endlessly patient, and full of quiet dignity. Her favorite pastimes? Sleeping, leisurely chewing on a bully stick, and occasionally nudging her ball in your direction as if to say, “Let’s take it slow.” She's great with kids and has a unique little quirk—she always lays down to eat, punctuated with a dramatic sigh that could rival any Oscar-winning performance! Diagnosed with bronchiectasis caused by a past Bordetella infection, Mrs. Mia Wallace now needs a very special kind of caregiver: someone who can offer her peace, affection, and a low-risk environment as she enjoys her golden months—estimated to be less than eight remaining. Because her condition makes her highly vulnerable to even minor illnesses, she must be the only pet in the home. But what she may lack in quantity of time, she more than makes up for in the quality of presence she brings into a room. She's fully house-trained, crate trained, vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and even knows how to sit on command. Her routine is simple: two meals a day, some time in a fenced yard, and your quiet company. Long-distance adoptions are welcome anywhere in the U.S.—because when you meet a soul like hers, geography shouldn’t stand in the way! Could your loving home be the peaceful place where Mrs. Mia Wallace spends her final chapter wrapped in comfort and kindness?
