DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting. ***** Mira is 5-7yo, weighs 45lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, and is microchipped. Mira can sit and stay and guardian was working on crate training until guardian's disability occurred. Mira roams around the house close to her guardians and is left alone at home up to 4 hours per day. At night, Mira sleeps downstairs on the couch or one of the bedrooms. She dislikes/fears strangers coming to the house, especially women. Also, Mira loves car rides. Mira's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her: Mira's guardian is no longer able to care for her needs. Lunge/Attack Incident: In April 2024, in Pueblo, CO, Mira lunged at the veterinarian; there was no physical contact; animal control was not involved. Mira's guardian explains:  "No medical attention was required. Mira can be protective of the house, and the vet was a little too quick to get in her space when she was agitated. She lunged at the vet, but did not hurt her or anyone else." Mira's guardian offers a brief a medical history: "Entropion of the eye, corrected by surgery but might come back. Spayed. Vet suspects past injury to her hips as they seem stiff, but no other sign of injury." Mira's guardian states the following regarding children: Since Mira hasn't lived with children, her guardian doesn't recommend her living with children. Regarding how Mira responds to children outside the home, the guardian states "She treats them the same way she treats other people; curious and usually affectionate". Mira's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Since Mira has lived with dogs, her guardian recommends her living with dogs, stating "She tends to get along with dogs very well". Mira's guardian states the following regarding cats: Since Mira hasn't lived with cats, her guardian doesn't recommend her living with cats, stating "She has shown a great interest in stray cats, but not an aggressive one. We are unsure how she would act around a cat". Mira's guardian describes her as: Couch potato Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Protective Always at your side House-Trained Likes men; also likes women if properly introduced* Separation anxiety (undiagnosed by vet)** * " Mira is more likely to get protective around women, but if introduced properly she's totally fine with just about everyone. We've found the best solution to be to walk out with Mira and meet a guest in the parking lot before coming inside. There have been a few instances where she has still gotten protective around women, but more often than not she's totally fine. If we do this with men she's always been okay with it. We suspect she was abused by a woman at some point." ** "The separation anxiety has not been formally diagnosed. She didn't used to behave like this, but after we moved she got very anxious about not being near us. This usually takes the form of whining and scratching at doors if we are in another room. It should be something that can be trained out of her, but I don't have the ability to do so with my current situation." Mira's guardian describes her ideal future home: "A house with a fenced in yard would be ideal. She loves to be outside and sun herself but she also tends to bolt if she doesn't have a fence. A family that has some experience training dogs would be ideal, as they can help her be less anxious about people visiting or separation."
