Story
It`s me, Mia, and I`m ready to pour my heart out from my point of view. You see, it takes me a little time to trust again, but when I do, I`m loyal to the core. I`ll need more than one meet-and-greet to feel completely comfortable, but I promise you, I`m worth the patience.I`m open to sharing my love with adults or older kids, and my heart is ready to form deep bonds. Plus, being a cattle dog mix, I thrive in an active environment. Long walks, playtime, and adventures are right up my alley.Here`s the thing - I can be reactive around other dogs, especially in my kennel. I might get a bit vocal and seem alarmed, but that`s just my way of saying. If you`re ready to be that special person, contact SPARC and let them know you want to meet Mia. Together, we`ll embark on a heartwarming journey filled with trust, love, and unforgettable moments. Come meet me today!
