Story
🐾 **Meet Miss Mia Pia!** 🐾
*Fostered in the Des Moines Area*
Who says big personalities need big bodies? Miss Mia Pia is a whole lot of dog packed into an adorable 48-pound, short-legged package! 😂❤️ She’s built sturdy, has plenty of love to give, and is on her way to finding her forever family!
Mia loves going for walks and is a great girl out and about, staying nonreactive around other dogs, people, and animals. She gets along with other dogs and has a blast playing with her high-energy Malinois/GSD mix foster sister! She can play a little dominant, though, and too many unfamiliar dogs can overwhelm her, so she’d prefer one-on-one friendships over crowded dog parks. 🐶
She’s also living with two cats, is kennel trained, and rides nicely in her kennel in the car. Mia is working on potty training and does best with regular reminders to head outside.
Mia came from a rough start in life, and we suspect she didn’t receive adequate nutrition as a puppy. She’s still working through some tummy troubles, so her foster family is helping her get things figured out.
A few of Mia’s favorite things? **FOOD, bones, chewing on things, walks, and playtime!** 😋 She is incredibly food motivated and always seems to be thinking about her next meal. She has some ball drive, too, but she’s not over the top about it. She’s even been to the lake, although she hasn’t decided that swimming is her thing just yet!
Mia is a medium-energy girl who may develop more energy as she builds muscle and continues to thrive. After everything she’s been through, she deserves a family ready to help her blossom and show her how good life can be. ❤️
🏡 **Mia is not quite ready for adoption yet, but we ARE accepting applications!** We want to give this sweet girl time to work through her tummy troubles and continue building strength before she heads off to her forever home. Getting your application in now is a great way to get a head start!
💕 **If you love a short, sturdy, big-hearted girl with a larger-than-life personality, Miss Mia Pia might just be your perfect match!** 🐾
