Mia, STAR #1890

Hi, my name is Mia!  I am a petite, 18-month-old, red tri female who weighs approx.38 lbs. and being an Aussie I have an endless supply of energy & playing is my game. I was surrendered to a shelter for being “too much” and chewing up things when left out in the yard. Of course, my happiest day of all was when I got adopted by STAR.

Last week was the second happiest day of my life because I completed my 30 day “no playtime” treatment for heartworms – and I’m ready to cut loose!  I am a true diva when it comes to dog toys… I just can’t have too many; that way I can have multiple toys in every room and outside, so I don’t have to go looking for just the right one to rip up and destroy because that what I do best; I just love chewing off all the legs, arms and heads. If you are considering adopting me, I’ll gladly supply you with a list of my favorite toys to get.

I love all the humans (both big & small) and dogs that I’ve met so far, even when they come into my territory… My foster brother Dakota would describe me as a bratty little sister who is always annoying or begging to play by standing or laying on me. I just love laying on people, their feet, legs lap or even your head if you’ll let me..  I just need to be connected to you, so you’ll be paying attention to me, isn’t that what divas do?

I eat my meals and sleep in my crate overnight without any problems but the rest of the time I want to be with my pack. I am house trained, haven’t chewed on anything I shouldn’t and I’m working on walking on the leash without too much pulling, especially if I’m by myself.

I load up and ride in the car because I want to know whatever is going on. I’m a typical Aussie watchdog — always on the lookout for squirrels, mailpersons or just plain leaves falling.  I will protect you from all these dangers!

I would definitely benefit from being adopted by someone with another active dog, so I have another toy and playmate.

If you are interested in learning more about Mia and potentially adopt – then the first step is to complete our adoption application – on our website, under adopt.  My foster home is in Houston.
