My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mia is a beautiful, intelligent American Staffordshire Terrier with a strong and loving personality. At 60 pounds, she’s sturdy, sweet, and full of curiosity about the world around her. Mia thrives on mental stimulation and loves exploring her surroundings, making her an excellent match for an active and attentive home.

She’s best suited for families with older, respectful children (12 and up) who can appreciate her gentle yet spirited nature. Mia walks beautifully on pack walks and listens well to confident handlers. However, she does show strong reactivity to other dogs, especially in confined spaces like kennels. Because of this, Mia would do best as the only dog in her home unless her adopter is highly experienced with managing dog reactivity.

She responds well to firm guidance and thrives with handlers who establish clear boundaries. She’s shown she can form a deep bond with those who take the time to understand her personality. Mia has come a long way from her time in the shelter and is ready to find her perfect match. Could you be the one to give this bright, loving girl the second chance she deserves?

**Adopt or foster Mia and welcome a loyal, intelligent, and curious companion into your life!**

Additional adoption info

All of our animals come fully vaccinated and spayed or neutered (if old enough), and microchipped. Puppies and kittens will be spayed/neutered and have all shots when they are old enough. There is an Adoption application, a quick phone interview to make sure it is a good fit, a meet and greet with the dog, then a home check, and an adoption contract. We ask for a $400 donation for adult dogs, and $500 for puppies at the time of adoption so that we can save other dogs from the shelter. The first step is to fill out an app here: https://thelittlereddog.org/adoption-form

More about this rescue

Dogs are man's best friend, but it is not always the other way around. The Little Red Dog was founded in memory of a little red American Pit Bull Terrier who did not make it. If you are familiar with the Michael Vick dog fighting case chronicled in The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick's Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption. The Little Red Dog was brutally beaten to death by Vick and his cronies because she didn't want to fight.

The Little Red Dog rescues dogs; red, blue, tan, white, brown, black and all colors in between. We do not discriminate against ANY breed; that's because we are a real rescue, and we will help as many animals as we can. Our primary goal is to get them into loving homes. Our hope that some day all of them make it, but most of all, we will never forget the Little Red Dog and many others who did not.
