Story
Shia is a beautiful 5-year-old Maltipoo who is finally getting the chance to discover what life as a beloved pet should be. Before coming to All About Paws, Shia lived in a breeding environment and even had her last litter while in rescue care. Now that her puppies are grown, it’s finally her turn to be spoiled, loved, and learn how to simply be a dog. Shia is a very loving little girl who adores her humans and happily hands out plenty of sweet kisses. She loves cuddling up on laps and sleeping in bed close to her person. While she can have a playful, high-energy side, she also enjoys relaxing and lounging with her family after she gets her wiggles out. She is still learning many things about the world around her. Shia does okay walking on a leash, but she continues to build confidence with practice and patience. Car rides are especially scary for her right now. Her foster mom has been gently working with her to help her feel more comfortable, but this will be something her future family will need to continue helping her with over time. Shia is currently potty pad trained, and her foster mom is working on outdoor potty training — although Shia can be a little stubborn about changing her routine. Consistency and encouragement will go a long way as she continues adjusting to her new life. Her ideal home would include another friendly dog to help guide her, play with her, and give her companionship. Because she loves to run and jump, a securely fenced yard would be perfect for her to safely burn off energy and enjoy herself. Shia is looking for a patient, loving family that will continue helping her grow in confidence while giving her the affection she’s missed for so many years. In return, she’ll provide endless cuddles, kisses, and loyal companionship. Shia is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, had a heart worm test, on heartworm preventative, de-wormed, had a dental, and microchipped. Shia’s adoption fee is $350.00.
