Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Mia gave birth to 8 beautiful puppies. She has been a wonderful Mom to her babies and now it's time for everyone to find their forever homes. Mia has since been spayed so her Mommy days are over. Mia is a sweet, friendly girl who gets along with people and other dogs. We do not know what she thinks of cats. She looks like she has some Border Collie in her but she is less energetic than the typical Border Collies we see. Mia is about 4-5 years old and 35 pounds. Please help Mia find the loving home she deserves.
Update: Mia tested positive for Ehrlicchia, another common tick borne disease similar to Lyme's. She is undergoing a short course of antibiotic and is feeling great. Mia is currently available for adoption and any remaining pills will be sent home with her new family for completion. Don't miss out on this awesome girl!
We do NOT ship our animals. All adoptive families must travel to us to meet their adoptive dog/cat. Applicants must live within a 2 hour radius from Sparta/Andover (07871/07821).
Please understand that we are an animal shelter and thus unable to say whether the dogs are housebroken as they are not in homes.
If you are interested in adopting, we encourage you to please submit an application on our website today so that we can try and process and pre-approve any potential adopters prior to our next adoption event.
PLEASE USE THIS LINK TO SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION. WE ONLY ACCEPT ADOPTION APPLICATIONS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. ANY OTHERS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.

Adoption Process:
1.Fill out an application
2.Meet & Greet
3.Adoption contract & adoption fee
Mia's adoption fee is $400. This covers all their age-appropriate shots, microchipping and vetting.
**If you are coming to an adoption event to see a certain dog/cat, please email ahead of time to make sure that dog/cat will be there that day. Please email 1-2 days before the event, as some animals are placed during the week and our list is constantly changing.
