This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $250 if picked up in TN, $325 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Meet Lia, a gentle little sweetheart whose calm spirit and loving nature make her an absolute joy to have around. This adorable 5-year-old poodle mix weighs just 18 pounds and brings a peaceful, comforting presence wherever she goes. Sweet, quiet, and wonderfully easygoing, Lia is the kind of companion who quickly turns a house into a home. Lia is a true cuddle bug at heart. One of her most endearing traits is the way she hugs with her whole body, leaning in close and gazing up with eyes full of love and trust. Mornings are her favorite time to connect — as soon as she hears you waking up, she happily hops onto the bed to share soft snuggles and start the day together. While she isn’t much interested in toys, she thrives on companionship and affection, finding her greatest happiness simply being near her person. She has lovely indoor manners and spends much of her day relaxing or napping peacefully. Lia enjoys her crate and often chooses it as her own cozy retreat, settling quietly when left alone and greeting you with excitement when you return home. She rides calmly in the car, walks nicely on leash, and is learning new skills like sitting for treats and coming when called, showing she’s ready to continue blossoming with gentle guidance. Lia would do best in a home as an only dog, but warms up to people quickly. Her quiet, independent nature makes her an easy companion, yet she forms deep bonds with those she trusts most. Lia would thrive in a peaceful home where she can enjoy a steady routine, plenty of affection, and cozy downtime with her family. A calm environment with patient adopters who appreciate soft snuggles and a loyal, loving companion will allow Lia to truly shine. If you’re looking for a sweet, devoted friend who offers comfort, companionship, and unconditional love, Lia may be the perfect match. Interested in adopting?
