MIA *COURTESY LISTING - MALTESE / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Maltese / Mixed (medium coat). COURTESY LISTING MIA is a courtesy listing, not in the AARF foster program, and we are posting online to help the owner find a home for them. Please visit aarf-tn/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. Meet Mia, a gentle 10-year-old Maltese mix with a soft spirit and a heart full of devotion. Weighing about 30 pounds, she has the perfect blend of relaxed companionship and surprising spryness. Mia has spent the last six years in a loving home after being abandoned during a difficult life transition, and through it all, she has remained sweet, loyal, and deeply bonded to her people. Mia is fully housetrained and has wonderful manners in the home. She enjoys having the run of the house, has no destructive tendencies, and is happiest lounging near her favorite person. While she may hop up on the furniture if invited, what she truly wants is simple closeness and comfort. She lives indoors and thrives in a calm, predictable environment. Naturally a bit shy, Mia can be skittish with new people and needs a little time to build trust. Once she feels safe, her affectionate and gentle personality truly shines. She is food motivated, which makes building that bond even easier, and she responds beautifully to patience and kindness. Mia has lived peacefully without showing aggression and would do especially well in a quieter home. She would make a wonderful companion for a senior or someone looking for a steady, loving presence by their side. Though she enjoys relaxing afternoons, Mia still has a spark of energy and appreciates short walks and light activity. She offers the best of both worlds: a calm, loyal friend who is content to lounge with you, yet lively enough to brighten your daily routine. Mia is ready for a forever home where she can feel secure, cherished, and loved for the rest of her golden years Interested in adopting?

Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative.
