My personality

My story

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

Meet Mia!

🐶Mia is an almost 3-year old spayed female GSD. She is currently up to date on her shots, microchipped, on monthly preventatives along with CBD.🐶

🙏Mia came to us as an owner surrender. She spent the majority of the first 1.5 years of her life in a crate 23 hours a day as the people that “adopted” her were not prepared for a high energy working dog.🙏

💔When Mia arrived to her foster, she was a MESS. She did not understand how to dog, she didn’t understand life in a house and will absolutely not enter a crate without hurting herself. Mia’s foster mom works with her daily on training to help her manage her anxiety/nervousness as well as learning new skills. ❤️

Mia has come a very long way in the short time we’ve had her. Here’s a little more about her:

🐾Mia should not be crated, she is fine being penned off or closed in another room
🐾Mia’s adoption WILL be a slow process and her trainer will be involved. This is a non-negotiable.
🐾Mia is dog selective, she can be successful, meet and greets required
🐾Mia is best suited to an adult only home where the family understands her anxiety and nervousness
🐾A Fence is strongly recommended, due to her history of anxiety and nervousness she is considered a flight risk for any new adopter.
🐾Mia’s favorite past-time no matter the weather is chasing balls!!
🐾Mia is incredibly smart and food motivated which makes training a breeze
🐾Mia has all of the traits of the GSD breed standard. She is incredibly loyal, smart, protective, and loves playtime. GSD/working breed experience is required.
