More about Mia

Hi everyone!  We would like to introduce you to Mia who is approximately 5 months old. She is an  energetic  five -month-old puppy who  absolutely  loves to be near her people . She  came into the rescue in January after being found as a stray. Luckily, she was found by a good  Samaritan  who reached out to SGSR for help in  giving her a second chance at life . Mia  is  g reat with people, kids, and other dogs . However, she can be a bit skittish at first.   Although  she  prefers to be wherever her 2-legged pack members are, she   does well in the crate and   is  about 9 9 % potty-trained. She will  verbally alert you when she needs to go outside, or she will  go  directly  to the door  to let you know its time .   She is so smart that she will  jump on the bed to wake you up if she has business  to do  in the middle of the night.  When her paw hits your head or you feel frantic kisses on your face,  Mia  is telling you that it is time to go.  Mia   loves  her stuffed babies, balls,  and other chew toys . Like a typical puppy, she is curious and occasionally grabs things she shouldn’t to drag around the house (socks, dish towels, etc.).  Her favorite pass time is playing with her 4-legged foster siblings, especially her 8-month-old brother. They can get rather rambunctious!  At the end of the day, she does appreciate her downtime! And while she has comfy beds in several room of the house,  no bed is as good as her foster  M om  and Dad bed .  That’s her go-to safe spot! Mia does great   in the car   so she will be ideal  for a family that loves  outdoor adventure .  As with any GSD puppy,  s he requires structure ,  exercise  and discipline. She can be a little mouthy when she is at her peak energy and when visitors enter the house , but it is only temporary as  she  corrects  easily . She knows a few basic commands such as sit, down, out, etc.   She is  one of the  sweetest   cuddle bugs   and knows how to use her eyes to get your attention . Our hope is that  her  new family will have a fun , energetic  dog  s he can  interact  with, and that they will continue to make sure  s he grows up as a well-socialized, friendly GSD!  She would like it even better if she could go to a family that is home more often than away.  Mia is microchipped and up to date on her shots.  If you feel you have the  time,  love and patience  that Mia absolutely and unconditionally deserves,  please contact your adoption coordinator or complete an online application at our website.  She  is being fostered in  Roanoke , VA area.
