My story

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

She looks like a hound, she's cute like a hound, but she is half the size of a hound! This little compact cutie is the best of both worlds. She has all the cuteness of a hound but at her 34lb weight she is actually small enough to cuddle on your lap. Mia is a cautious pup - taking her time to get from point A to point B and as long as she is by your side, she is a happy gal. Mia does well with her resident fur friends (no contact with cats yet). So far she has followed them around the yard and relaxed on the couch with everyone. We haven't seen Mia with children yet but my guess is that she will be kind and gentle. We are working on potty training and after just a couple days she is well on her way! Mia has also done well on leash and waits patiently when it is time for meals. Mia is a sweet, calm little lady that would make any home (house or apartment) a very happy home.

Mia is estimated to be about 1 year old and weighs about 34 pounds. Since we don't know at all what doggy genes are in the dogs make up (we don't know who mom and dad are!), we are just guessing on breed and size when grown.

All dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. They have all had a vet exam, are up to date on vaccinations, have been given a dewormer, are treated for fleas, have a heartworm test if over 6 months old and are up to date on a heartworm preventative.

Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 60 mile radius of Minneapolis.If you are interested in meeting this dog please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website at http://www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting in the foster home.

We also have an Adoptable Dog Meet & Greet on Saturday December 26, 2015, at Fetch Delivers Warehouse, 783 Harding St. NE. Suite 150, Minneapolis, MN 55413, from noon - 2 pm. Occasionally dogs cannot make it to the Meet & Greet, therefore feel free to verify if your dog of interest is able to attend. Please bring a copy of your pre-adoption application.
