Mia

MIA Background: Mia came to us from a rescue friend in California who took her in to foster with her sister after their human left them at the groomer and refused to pick them up. Mia is a 3-year-old Corgi-Dachshund female who is incredibly intelligent, protective, loving, and independent. She can take a couple of days to trust new people and treats help with that. Once she settles in and knows you are not going to hurt her, she is all about belly rubs, running after her toys, chewing on her split Elk antler, and chasing around the backyard. This dog has a personality plus!! Mia is incredibly loyal once she loves you and will want to be wherever you are. But she is not clingy, just give her a split antler and she is happy to sit and chew it while you work. She just likes to be in the same room as her person. But when you are ready to give her love, she will drop the antler to share quality time with her favorite human. Mia needs a dog-savvy adopter. This is not a dog for a new dog owner. Someone who has experience in positive reinforcement training and understands small dog prey drives. She will be an excellent dog for 1-2 women with a fenced yard. MIA is the quintessential "Dorgi" Queen Elizabeth's favorite combination-Corgi and Dachshund. She truly needs a home with no cats or dogs. She is the queen of the home and will protect it fiercely. She makes an awesome watchdog and would be excellent for a single woman who wants a dog that will bond strongly. She will warn you when a stranger is at the door. What Mia Needs: Mia requires a child-free, small animal-free home. Mia loves to be the center of attention and should be an only fur child. She seems to prefer women and needs a loving person or persons with a fenced yard for potty, a willingness to walk her, give belly rubs, and let her sleep with you (she typically sleeps near the foot of her bed with her split Elk antler or under the covers, snuggling close on cold nites) and someone who will Keep Mia on the very nutritious canine-specific foods she needs to stay healthy for her entire life (we provide in-depth education). Mia needs a woman who is committed to loving her forever so she will never again be abandoned! Please fill out the application on puremutts.org.
