My personality

My story

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

Found heavily pregnant and wandering in the rugged mountains, Lia was a mystery—no one knew if she had been abandoned or if she was born on the streets. Over the next few days, volunteers patiently left food, building trust as she faithfully returned for her daily meal. The turning point came when Lia, was discovered caring for her newborn puppies near a fenced slope. Seizing the opportunity, rescuers safely gathered Lia and her pups. Bearing scars and the loss of a leg, likely from a past entanglement with fencing, Lia’s story is one of incredible courage, dedication and survival. She’s now seeking a forever home where she can finally experience the love and security she deserves.

Personality:
Lia is a bundle of joy and playfulness! Though she might be a bit timid when meeting new people, she quickly warms up and transforms into the most affectionate companion. She adores her fellow furry friends and loves playing with them. This loveable tripod is incredibly food-motivated and will follow you anywhere for a tasty treat!

Quirks:
One of Lia's most delightful habits is her zoomies after a successful bathroom break. Picture her running around with pure joy and big smiles—it’s impossible not to laugh!

Favourite Activities:
Toys & Bones: Lia loves all toys and bones, and she might occasionally “borrow” a slipper but don't worry, she’s gentle and doesn’t destroy them.
Cuddling & Snoozing: Despite her playful side, Lia enjoys her naps and is quite low-energy. She wouldn’t mind sleeping in if given the chance.
Following You Around: She’s your little shadow, always by your side, ready to join in whatever you’re doing.

Special Notes:
Lia might need a little time to get comfortable in a new environment, but once she feels at home, she’ll be your loyal and loving best friend. Her sweet nature and kind heart will melt your worries away.
