About Mia

Mia is a sweet senior Chihuahua looking for a cozy forever home. After arriving at the shelter in rough shape, she has made a remarkable recovery thanks to loving care. She gained weight, had a painful tooth pulled, and her coat is vibrant, though she can get a bit itchy. Mia enjoys the company of her small dog companions, coexisting well despite her preference for personal space and less playtime. She’s quite skilled at signaling when she needs to go outside, but being an older lady, she may have occasional accidents. It’s best for her to live in a home without cats since she has a tendency to chase them. This lovely little lady is ready to relax and be a couch potato with her new family, finally leaving survival mode behind. Mia is located in The Dalles, OR, and her adoption fee is $200.
