e loves to snuggle and give kisses Mia came to us with a spinal injury. Unfortunately, there was nothing we could do to restore her ability to walk, but she has had a lot of physical therapy and is a spinal walker. What that means is that while she cannot feel her back legs, her reflexes have taken over and she will get up and walk (not always pretty, but effective) and when she’s not up on all fours, she is pretty good at getting around with only 2. She has her very own cart which helps on longer walks and trips out of the house. Because of her condition, Mia does need to be expressed to go potty. She doesn't want to let this scare you off - It is SUPER easy to learn which means she goes potty on your schedule! Check out our very own Dr. Wong at Southeast Veterinary Neurology teach you how to express a dog! From Mia - In addition to all that you have read about me, I can report that my foster family uses the words VERY LOVEABLE (yes, in all caps) to describe me. I enjoy lounging in the sun, chowing down (although my weight is just fine), distributing kisses and cuddling with you…big time. Hesitant at first, I warm up quickly when I know you are the real deal. Not super high energy, I’m content to lounge around and be, well, loveable! Little tikes and lots of commotion make me (and my stomach) very nervous, and I will make a beeline for a hiding place. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the DRSF Online Adoption form. My adoption fee covers all my (prior) vet care (adopter receives vet records). For more information refer to the DRSF Adoption Fee page. If you have any questions about adoption or want more info, you can email: infodachshundrescuesouthflorida

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
