About Mya

Mya is a wonderful Great Dane mix, approximately 3 years old. She is currently looking for a permanent home, ideally alongside her buddy Daisy—check out her profile too! They are both seeking safety as they may soon face euthanasia at local shelters in Vermont due to overcrowding. Mya is known for her loyalty and affection. She prefers a calm, adult-only environment, as quick movements make her anxious. While she enjoys the dog park, some reintroduction may be needed since it’s been a while since her last visit. Mya waits patiently for her food and shows no aggression over it. Her protective nature comes out when she senses fast-moving objects or people. Easily trained, Mya responds to calls and enjoys playtime without leashes in her small rural neighborhood. She and Daisy share a special bond, often opting for the same crate and basking in the sun on the deck together. Mya has been spayed and is housetrained. Remember, her adoption fee is waived, making this the perfect time to consider bringing her home. Ready to meet Mya and perhaps Daisy? Click apply to start the adoption process.
