About Mia

Meet the glorious Mia, affectionately known as "Pork Chop"! 🎉 This lovable lady is back in rescue for the second time in her journey, and she’s ready to find a family she can truly call her own. Originally rescued in 2022 as a stray, Mia was reunited with her former owner through the magic of microchipping. However, fate had other plans, and now she’s back with us, waiting for the next chapter in her life to begin! ✨ Mia, the fabulous 5-year-old black & brown Aussie mix, is looking for a home filled with love and attention. After being found exhausted in the middle of a busy road—thank goodness for that kind-hearted woman who saved her!—she arrived at rescue in need of a good grooming and some serious weight management (she ballooned from 50 to 87 pounds!). Don't worry, though; she’s now fitted with the essentials—she's spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready to steal your heart! ❤️ This adorable gal is crate trained and housebroken, but she’s on a mission to shed those extra pounds; her amazing fosters are dedicated to helping her along the way. 😍 Mia absolutely flourishes with human companionship—she’s a true people-lover! Although she seemed to play nice with other dogs at first, our dear Mia is a bit dog selective, so she’d thrive best in a home with an assertive but calm canine companion. She’s not quite a kid explorer just yet, so we're recommending an age of 10 and up while we continue to learn more about her preferences. Now, Mia doesn’t necessarily require a fenced yard, but it’s essential for potential adopters to showcase how they’ll keep her safe until she masters the art of reliable recall. After all, she's got a love for adventure, but her heart will always belong to her people! Supporting rescue dogs and ensuring a forever home? Now that's a noble pursuit! 🐾 So if you feel that spark of connection with Mia and want to offer her the loving home she deserves, jump into action and *apply through the Buddy App* right away! Together, let’s give Mia the happily ever after she dreams of! 🌟
