Ruff Ruff! My name is Mya

Mya's Story...
Hi, my name is Mya! My foster mom said she saw me on something called the “urgent” list put out by some volunteers at the shelter that I was dropped off at by my previous owners. She said she saw my eyes and knew she had to save me. She said it was really close, but the awesome people at AAT stepped in and that is how I am alive today. My foster mom said that I am one of the best decisions she has ever made because she knows that I am going to make an amazing addition to someone’s family. I am not too big and not too small, I am just right at about 59 lbs. I am healthy, I walk on a leash perfectly, I LOVE to go on car rides and will sit wherever you let me sit, I love to give and get attention (and I will even let you use me as a pillow), I gently take treats (like the lady I am), and I know basic commands (sit, stay, come, even shake). My foster mom tells me that I am simply adorable and that I am such a lady. I do have two foster sisters (they are pit bull/pit bull mix) and we all get along for the most part, but sometimes I have to verbally remind them that I am still a little nervous and getting used to my new surroundings. I am getting there with the help of my foster mom, she says we just have to all be patient and calm and it will take time.

Mya’s foster mom here…Mya is indeed going to make an amazing addition to someone’s home and I have told her that. Mya is going to need an owner that is confident, assertive, calm and experienced with dogs (especially if you plan on bringing her into a home with other pets). She was owner-surrendered along with two other dogs at a shelter. My understanding is that she was in a loving home and it appears that she was very well taken care of and loved. She is very smart, obeys commands well, is crate-trained, housebroken and she is by far the best of my pack on a leash (which is somewhat embarrassing to admit). She LOVES the car and will make an excellent co-pilot. Mya has adapted well to her two foster sisters and they like to play chase in the yard, take naps together and compete for lap space and kisses. I do not know how she is with cats, as I do not have any, but she has thus far been non-reactive to them when we have been out and about. I believe Mya would be great in a home with older kids that can play with her and give her lots of love and affection. Mya is a doll and I knew from the moment I saw her that she was special and someone else is going to recognize it as well.
