Story
🐾 Meet Mia Bella! 💕
Mia Bella is a beautiful 2-year-old Boxer/Mastiff mix weighing 66 pounds. This sweet girl came to Anderson Humane from a partner shelter in Louisiana alongside her nine puppies. After dedicating herself to motherhood, it's finally Mia Bella's turn to enjoy life, let her personality shine, and find the loving forever home she deserves! ❤️
Mia Bella has made incredible strides in her confidence and has blossomed into such a sweet, affectionate, and playful girl! She's even found her voice and occasionally greets the neighbors with her adorable little "woo-woos!" 🥰 While she may need a little time to warm up to new people and dogs, she's an overall social and friendly lady. Once she gets to know you, she remembers you and will happily greet you with excitement and affection!
If there's one thing Mia Bella loves most, it's being close to her people. She's a total snuggle bug who enjoys soaking up attention and spending quality time with her favorite humans. But don't let her cuddly side fool you—this girl knows how to have fun! She loves picking out toys from her toy box and proudly prancing around the house to show off her treasures. Balls and bones are some of her favorites, although soft toys don't stand much of a chance against her enthusiasm! She's a smart girl who understands which items are hers to play with and which are off-limits.
Now that her puppies are grown, Mia Bella is embracing her playful side and enjoying some well-deserved fun of her own! She loves going on long walks, exploring her surroundings, and getting some one-on-one playtime with her people. A little rain won't stop this adventurous girl from enjoying her walks, either! 🌧️🐾 After she's had a chance to stretch her legs and burn off some energy, she's more than happy to settle in for some snuggles.
Mia Bella is also one smart cookie! She's crate-trained, potty-trained, and does wonderfully relaxing in her crate while her foster is at work. She knows several commands, including sit, stay, and come, and is a great listener. Her adorable wrinkly face only adds to her charm! The one thing she hasn't quite mastered? Posing for pictures! 📸 Mia Bella would much rather run over to the photographer for some attention than sit still for the perfect shot. Luckily, she's absolutely adorable from every angle!
Mia Bella has come such a long way, and it's been wonderful watching her confidence and playful personality blossom. She's ready for a family who will continue encouraging her, give her plenty of love and attention, and enjoy all the silly, sweet moments she has to offer.
After being such a wonderful mama to her nine puppies, it's finally Mia Bella's turn to be someone's baby! 💕 Could you be the one to give this special girl her happily ever after?
When Mia Bella arrived at Anderson Animal Shelter, she tested positive for Heartworm. The staff believes that the best place for Heartworm-positive dogs like Mia Bella to recover and complete treatment is in a loving forever home.
If you choose to adopt Mia Bella, our clinic staff will support you every step of the way by answering questions and providing guidance throughout her treatment. The process generally takes about three months and involves some simple at-home care to help keep her safe while she recovers. The final step is a follow-up test six months after treatment begins.
The Heartworm treatment process is highly successful, and the staff anticipates that Mia Bella will make a full recovery! It's also important to know that Heartworm can only be transmitted from animal to animal through mosquito bites.
If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with lots of love to give, Mia Bella is ready to meet you!
Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you.
All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older). They are also up to date on core vaccines, as well as heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Each adoption includes a 3.5-pound bag of dog or puppy food and a free vet exam at one of our participating veterinary partners.
