Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.**MIA** A friend in California rescued Mia after her previous owner abandoned her and her sister at a groomer. Mia is a 5-year-old female Dorgi, a mix of Corgi and Dachshund. She is intelligent, protective, loving, and independent. Trusting new people may take her a few days, but treats can help. Once comfortable, Mia loves belly rubs, playing with her toys, chewing on her split Elk antler, and running around the yard. She has a great personality and is incredibly loyal to her favorite human. Mia does not require constant attention and is happy to sit and chew on her antler while her owner works. However, when it's time for affection, she will put down her antler to enjoy quality time with her human. Mia's need for a loving owner will inspire compassion and care in anyone who meets her. What Mia Needs: Mia needs a home without children or small animals, as she prefers to be the only pet. She loves attention and requires someone to provide her with plenty of love and care. Additionally, she needs a fenced yard for potty breaks and walks. Keeping her on a healthy, canine-specific diet to ensure her well-being is essential, reflecting your commitment and responsibility as an owner. We will offer comprehensive guidance on how to care for her. Most importantly, Mia needs a loving person dedicated to keeping her forever and will never abandon her again. MIA is very protective and needs proper introductions with new people as she will try to protect her human and her home (it's a trait of the corgi-dachshund if not kept well socialized). Once she meets new people and sees them consistently, she makes friends.  How Can You Meet Mia? To meet Mia, please use the link provided to apply. One of our volunteers will review your application and contact you to answer any questions and determine if you are a good match for Mia. Mia's need for a loving owner will make you feel compassionate and caring. Mia has been transitioned to a human-grade diet that avoids kibble and follows a healthy, canine-specific feeding regimen. We will educate her adopters about proper diet and nutrition.  There is a $350.00 adoption fee to adopt Mia. All funds will be used to cover her medical care and to help rescue more dogs.  Please  complete the online application using the following link:  https://rompinpawsrescue.com.   Be thorough in your responses and provide as much detail as possible so we can get to know you better and make the best match  p ossible.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.**Chelsea, a Small Mixed Breed Puppy** Meet Chelsea, a lovable 8-month-old mix of Shepherd, Poodle, Terrier, and a super mutt mix of small breeds. The adopters of her brother did a DNA test, so we have a good idea of her breed mixes. Chelsea will be on the small side of medium, weighing approximately 25 pounds as an adult. Chelsea is thriving at Rompin Paws Rescue and is ready to find her forever home.   Chelsea is a sweet puppy who is shy at first, but spend time with this girl and give her treats and love, and she will be your best friend in no time. Chelsea is learning to trust, enjoying playtime with her puppy friends in the yard, chasing balls, and learning how to sit and give you her paw, and snuggling up for cozy naps on my shoulder.   Chelsea is a smart girl who is eager to learn, and with consistent training and positive reinforcement, she will flourish. Having another dog in her future home would be a great advantage for Chelsea, providing her with a companion to guide her as she embarks on her new life. Chelsea is up to date on all her puppy vaccinations. The small breeds in her DNA will keep her on the small side of medium. We are scheduling her Rabies and will work with her adopter on a spay date with our vet. Chelsea is an awesome young dog who just wants a family of her own and time with her people for snuggles, walks, and adventures!! Are you ready to welcome Chelsea into your heart and home?   **Adopting Chelsea** To apply to adopt Chelsea, please use the link below.
