Princess Mya is a petite 54 pound terrier mix. Princess Mya originally came here in August of 2021, was adopted out fairly quick to a family and due to her resource guarding, she had incidents in the home where her family did not feel they could care for her any longer. Princess Mya now finds herself back here 2 years later, and will need a home that will understand her behavioral challenges and commit to working on them. She does well on leash, but will need time to warm up to being pet, as she does have some handling sensitivities. Due to her behavioral issues, she will be placed in a solo dog only home with no children, but did get along with the family cat.
