My story

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

Meet “Mia” !
The sweetest girl - she arrived at our shelter recently and has been a Jem ever since. We don’t know her history, but we can tell that she had a rough life before coming into our arms. ‘Mia” was very shy and shut down, she was having a hard time adjusting to her environment in our shelter. We decided yo give her a break from our shelter and were able to place her into a foster home with a loving family willing to provide cuddles, warmth, patience, and other dog buddies in the home for her to be around with. After a few days in her foster home, she learned to walk through doors, so she can go between indoors and outdoors freely. While still a bit hesitant at times, she has been much more comfortable in her foster home and is fully engaging as a family member. She is still nervous of big sudden movements and yet she continues to seek affection and connection with her foster family.
‘Mia” has a big desire to trust, to love and be loved. She pays attention to the sounds around her. She is very endearing. She loves to play, and regularly creates piles of toys where she is nesting. She gets along well with other dogs. With time and training, she may well be a great hiking companion. She adores cuddling! She is 100% house trained, although she does not like or need a crate, she is happy sleeping anywhere there is a bed (her favorite place is to sleep beside her person). She has many adorable quirks - like making little squeaky sounds when she wants to play, or lifting her paw up to hold your hand. “Mia” is a very special girl who is just waiting for her family.
