About Mia

Meet Mia, also known as Princess Mia or Mama Mia! This charming 3-year-old Yorkie mix weighs about 10 pounds and possesses a personality that's as large as her heart. She joined the rescue alongside her four one-week-old puppies, caring for them like a pro. With all her little ones now in loving homes, it's finally Mia's time to be the center of attention. Mia is a happy, curious, and confident little girl who enjoys playtime. Whether she’s toting around her toys, snatching a sock, or engaging with her dog friends, fun is always on her agenda. She loves her human family as much as she loves exploring. Mia is well on her way with house training, walks nicely on a leash, and comes when called. In her foster home, Mia has adjusted beautifully and is ready for her forever home—ideally one with a secure, fenced yard where she can frolic freely. While she enjoys the company of other small, playful dogs, it's not a requirement for her ideal match. Mia does take her time warming up to new men but quickly becomes a loving companion once she knows they're friends. She currently shares a home with cats but would prefer a cat-free environment. Mia is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on preventatives. If you're searching for a playful, affectionate companion with a spirit that's as fun-loving as her heart is golden, Mia is ready to reign supreme in her forever home—could that home be yours?
