Mia's Story

Meet Mia <br/><br/>Mia is a guessed 6-month-old chocolate Lab mix who recently found her way back to us through no fault of her own. As she started to grow, her previous adopters realized she was getting bigger than they were comfortable with. Unfortunately, Mia doesn't understand why she was returned-she only knows that her world changed again.<br/><br/>Mia is a very sweet, gentle girl, but she's naturally timid, and the shelter environment is overwhelming for her. Loud noises, constant activity, and unfamiliar routines can be scary for a sensitive puppy who's still learning how the world works. Even so, her kind heart shines through, and she's more than ready to find the family who will help her feel safe and secure.<br/><br/>She is still very much a puppy and truly a blank slate. Mia will need all the foundational skills that come with raising a young dog:<br/> House training<br/> Crate training<br/> Basic manners and leash skills<br/> Consistent routines and structure<br/> Confidence-building through positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance<br/><br/>Mia hasn't had the chance yet to learn what it means to be someone's lifelong companion-but that also means she comes without bad habits, just lots of potential. With time, consistency, and love, she will blossom into a loyal, loving, and confident dog.<br/><br/>Mia is looking for someone willing to invest in her-someone who understands that puppies don't come "finished," but are shaped by the care and commitment of their people. If you're ready to help a shy girl find her confidence and grow into the dog she's meant to be, Mia may be the perfect match for you.
