Meet our newest arrival Mia! This sweet girl hasn’t had the start to life she deserved. Mia arrived covered in matts after living as an outside dog without walks, missing out on so many of the comforts and experiences every dog should know. With little exposure to the outside world, Mia has had lots of new experiences to navigate. Behind her spicy exterior is a beautiful girl who just needs someone willing to give her the time, patience and structure she deserves. As a result of her previous environment and limited socialisation, Mia has developed some behavioural challenges. New people, situations and experiences can be overwhelming, but with the right handling, consistency and guidance, she's already making wonderful progress! 🥹 Once Mia builds trust, she loves affection, playing with her soft squeaky toys and curling up in her cosy bed with her favourite blankies. 🏡 WHAT DOES MIA NEED? 🐾 An adult-only home with no other pets. 🐾 Patient, confident and understanding owners who won't rush her. 🐾 A structured routine, clear boundaries and consistency to help her feel secure. 🐾 Someone willing to continue her training and build her confidence at her own pace. 🐾 A calm home where she can decompress and adjust without unnecessary pressure. A newly retired couple or someone with plenty of time, patience and dog-handling experience could be a wonderful match! We want to be completely transparent: Mia isn't a dog who will necessarily walk into a new home and settle overnight. Her past has shaped some of her behaviours, and she'll need people who understand that building trust takes time. But for someone willing to put in the time, the reward is getting to know the affectionate, playful and loving girl behind that spicy exterior. 🧡 Mia doesn't need a perfect home. She needs the RIGHT home. One that won't give up on her when things take time. 🌶️ Could you be the person who gives Spicy Mia the fresh start she's been waiting for?
If Mia isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
