Mia

My story

Mia is as sweet and loving as she looks, and she knows how to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Whether that’s a nap in the sun, a soft bed (pillow please!), or a chance to lean against a trusted human, she never seems bored with quality chill time. Mia is a lover of leisure but NOT a lazy dog. When she first came to the rescue she was excited go outside but very fearful away from the house, even in quiet neighborhoods. We are so proud of how much she has grown! Mia is now confident on her walks and is great on a leash. She practices being calm in different environments daily and is doing really well in guided sessions that help her harness her excitement. Mia’s loving spirit makes her quick to warm up to humans and an experienced attentive owner will find she is very easy to read. Mia loves children but is still learning how to control her nervous energy. She would do better in a home with older children who can understand boundaries and can participant in showing her leadership and safety. She’s very interested in other dogs but needs extra time acclimating to a new space before starting slow introductions. She would also do well as the only dog as it would allow her to get the training focus she needs. Mia’s growth has proven what an amazing dog she is and how much potential she still has to show. A forever family dedicated to helping her practice and build on her skills will be rewarded with a very loyal, intelligent, active and, of course, snuggly dog.
