Mia

Meet Mia, a sweet 5-year-old Shih Tzu mix who is looking for a gentle soul to call her own. She is the ultimate combination of a cozy cuddle bug and a playful pup, ready to bring endless love to a patient home. Because the big wide world can feel a little scary to her, she just needs someone willing to let her blossom at her own pace.

Ultimate Snuggle Bug: Mia's absolute favorite thing is sleeping right next to her humans in bed.

Playful Spirit: When she's not napping, she loves to burst into zoomies, run around, and play.

Shy & Sensitive: New people make her pretty nervous, so she needs a patient adopter who will let her take things slow.

An Unknown Chapter: She has never lived with kids or other animals, so we aren't sure how she would do with them.

Tricky Transitions: Given her nervous nature, introductions to a busy home with other pets or children might be tricky, making a quieter environment ideal.

Ready to earn Mia's trust and a lifetime of devotion? Reach out today to learn more about adopting this sweet girl!
