Meet Mia — a professional mood-booster wrapped in fur, operating under the delusion that everyone she meets is her long-lost best friend. Mia is unapologetically happy-go-lucky in a way that feels almost suspicious, like she knows a secret the rest of us don’t. When you sit down or get on her level, she doesn’t hesitate for even a second. She slides right in, gently tucks her face into your neck, and nuzzles like she’s trying to absorb your soul through osmosis. It’s sweet, it’s heartfelt, and it’s incredibly effective. Resistance is futile. You will melt.
Mia is a 13-week-old, 22-lb female Great Pyrenees mix, and before you let her sweet little face and cloud-level fluff hypnotize you into poor decision-making, we should probably mention one tiny detail: this girl is not going to stay “portable.” Mia is very much on track to become a lot of dog. Like “takes up half the couch but insists she’s still a lap dog” big. Like “blocks the hallway and looks offended when you try to walk around her” big. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning something that doubles as a weighted blanket, a doorstop, and a very judgmental home security system—congratulations, you’re emotionally prepared. Mia came to us after being surrendered to the shelter, which frankly makes no sense because she is an actual angel wrapped in fur. Truly. An injustice. A crime against fluff. How anyone looked at this happy, affectionate, ridiculously charming baby and said, “No thanks,” is beyond us. But their loss is about to be someone else’s very big, very wonderful gain. Because here’s the thing: Mia isn’t just cute. She’s fun. She’s joyful. She’s the kind of puppy who makes everything feel lighter just by existing near you. She’s goofy in that puppy way, sweet in that heart-melting way, and already showing signs of becoming the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her people and takes her job as “beloved family member” very seriously.
Mia’s social skills can best be described as “confidence first, size awareness never.” She plays beautifully with the bigger dogs in her foster home and genuinely believes she is one of them. Same energy, same enthusiasm, absolutely no understanding that she is, in fact, still a baby. As for kids, Mia has been around a 10-month-old grandson and has been incredibly sweet and gentle, with a strong commitment to licking as a love language. She’s the kind of puppy who would absolutely be the giggling, overexcited sidekick in any kid-centered adventure, though interactions are understandably supervised because, again… puppy. But her heart is 100% in the right place. Meeting new people is where Mia truly shines. She assumes everyone she meets is there specifically to admire her, and honestly, she’s usually right. New person? Best friend. Stranger? Temporary condition. If you have hands and are willing to pet her, congratulations—you’ve just been promoted to “favorite human.” Mia is social, confident, and delightfully unaware that not everyone wakes up hoping to be smothered by a fluffy puppy. She’s charming, outgoing, and already practicing the art of collecting admirers everywhere she goes. Fair warning: if you have a dog at home who deeply values structure, routine, order, and considers themselves the self-appointed police officer of the United Nations of Dogs, Mia may not be their ideal coworker. Remember how we mentioned she believes she’s already a big dog? Yes. That confidence comes with opinions. And volume. And a complete lack of concern for hierarchy charts. Mia is all about fun, play, joy, and living her best puppy life—but if another dog corrects her or gets a little sassy, she has absolutely no problem sassing right back. Not in an aggressive way, just in a very “I hear you, but have you considered no?” sort of way. She believes feedback is a suggestion, rules are flexible, and playtime is a constitutional right. So if your resident dog prefers peace, order, and puppies who quietly fall in line and respect the chain of command… Mia is probably not their dream intern. If, however, your dog enjoys playful energy, doesn’t take themselves too seriously, and can handle a confident puppy who occasionally forgets she’s still under construction, Mia could be a fantastic fit.
Mia operates at a solid 7 out of 10 on the energy scale. She has opinions. She has pep. She has wiggle. She can absolutely play hard… and then immediately flop down like her batteries were removed, because balance is important. Car rides currently require assistance because she is still a compact bundle of fluff with legs that haven’t fully accepted gravity yet. Once she’s in the car, she’s mostly fine—curious, alert, mildly restless, and clearly trying to understand why the world is moving while she is not. Her overall temperament is best described as happy-go-lucky with a backbone. She is thrilled to see her people and expresses this by walking directly in front of them at all times, making her a certified tripping hazard. Personal space is a suggestion. Spatial awareness is a work in progress. But when you get down on her level, she melts into the sweetest neck nuzzles, reminding you that she is, at her core, just a soft little lovebug who wants to be close. She’s full of playful puppy wiggles, but she also appreciates downtime and knows when to chill, which is a rare and beautiful trait. Mia would do wonderfully in a family environment, especially one with kids and other dogs—bonus points if those dogs are easygoing and not deeply committed to enforcing household law and order. She enjoys toys, is undecided about water, and has made it very clear that baths are a personal offense. Opinions may evolve. Or not. As for commands, Mia currently speaks fluent “Sit,” understands “Stay” on a part-time basis, and is highly responsive to the universal language of “Treat.” She is young, smart, and very motivated by snacks, which tells us everything we need to know about her future training potential.
Potty training is going… suspiciously well. She hasn’t pooped in the house at all, and while there were a few pee accidents early on, she’s been accident-free for three whole days now. We’re cautiously optimistic. Like, knock on wood, light a candle, don’t make eye contact with the universe optimistic. She clearly understands the concept; she’s just young enough that timing is still occasionally a suggestion. She has never been kenneled, mostly because she hasn’t given us a compelling reason to try. Chewing is minimal and very selective. She does not destroy shoes, furniture, or your will to live. However, if you leave baby toys out, she considers that a personal invitation. As for quirks? The biggest—and truly only—issue is that she is a certified tripping hazard. She walks directly in front of you. Always. With confidence. She has no sense of self-preservation or spatial awareness and assumes you will simply… work around her. Adopters should be prepared to develop excellent balance and situational awareness.
If you think Mia might be your soulmate (or your dog’s soulmate, or your kid’s new best friend, or your future couch potato), you’ll need to fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app so we can send it over to her foster family. No application, no Mia. We don’t make the rules — okay, we do — but they exist for a reason.
And yes, pickup will be in Warr Acres, OK, because Mia does not come with shipping, delivery, or Amazon Prime options. You must come get your own happiness in person.
