My story

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

My name is Mia and I came to the shelter when my previous owner could no longer care for me. I came in with another dog who I seem to get along with well. Please consider adopting me. I am a very sweet girl!

I`m a stylishly senior pet and therefore my adoption fee has been reduced. If you are 65 and older and interested in adopting me, ask staff about our Senior Squared deal! Go to this page for more information about available pets, adopting, visiting our facility, and contacting our adoption desk.

INSIGHTS FROM MY FOSTER FRIENDS AND ADVENTURE BUDDIES:
`Mia is a sweetheart. She did great on our walks and hikes, not pulling too much and being very respectful of the walkers/runners/bikers/dogs that passed by. She loves saying hello to people, but doesn`t pull too hard and enjoys pets. She was a little nervous in the car at first (kept wanting to hop in the front), but got more relaxed in the back as the day went on. She was very comfortable with me brushing out dead grass and leaves from her coat after our hike. She doesn`t quite know how to play with toys, but loves treats a lot and a peanut-butter-filled Kong. She seems up to go on adventures, but was also happy to sit or lie down calmly whenever we had down time. She can still turn on the pep when she wants, but is overall very calm, friendly, and well-behaved!`

`Mia is an incredible dog — very affectionate, relaxed, and great with everyone she meets. She adjusts quickly, listens well, and brings such a peaceful energy to the home. Anyone would be lucky to adopt her! My favorite thing about her is how loving she is. She gently leans in for cuddles and makes everyone feel special. She is very gentle with kids and loves to sit next to kids.`

Additional adoption info

Please visit http://www.orangecountync.gov/287/Available-Pets if you have questions about available pets, adopting, or visiting our facility. You may also call 919-942-7387, option 3, to speak with a staff member at our adoption desk.
If the staff is unable to answer right away, please leave a clear message with your full name and contact number. Our staff responds to messages in the order they are received. Every effort will be made to respond to messages the same day, but it is possible that you may not receive a callback until the next business day due to the high volume of calls we often receive. See our operating hours on our website.

-Adopting-
Some animals can be taken home the same day they are adopted, but those adoptions must occur before a certain time of day and are dependent upon several factors. If you are interested in taking a pet home on the same day you adopt, please consult with the adoption desk to find out if that pet is able to go home right away. See more information on adoption and adoption fees on our website.
