Myia is an 8–10 month old German Shepherd mix weighing just 40 lbs, with the softest soul and the sweetest heart. She is a gentle, shy girl who takes a little time to warm up to new people—but once she does, her affection is quiet, sincere, and incredibly special. ​With patience and a boost of confidence, Myia is going to be a wonderful lifelong companion. She absolutely loves her morning hugs, spending time watching the world go by from the front window, and enjoying peaceful walks. She’s still a bit nervous around cars, which is completely understandable given her past—Myia was dumped on a highway in a national forest with another dog who didn't make it. She survived for a week in the elements before she was finally humanely trapped and brought to safety. ​Despite everything she’s been through, Myia remains extremely sweet and loving. She does well with other dogs, taking comfort in their presence. She would thrive in a calm, patient home that will let her build trust at her own pace and show her the world can be kind. ​If you’re looking for a gentle, soulful dog who will blossom with love and reassurance, Myia is ready to start her next chapter—with you.​ https://www.southpawrescue.com/adoption-application
