Mia is a 6-year-old apricot Poodle weighing 25 pounds, and she is pure energy wrapped in curls and personality. Her journey hasn’t been an easy one—she began life in a puppy mill setting and later found herself in a home that simply couldn’t match her activity level. Now she’s ready for the right environment where she can finally thrive.

Why Mia Stands Out
🐾 Energetic, playful, and full of enthusiasm
💛 Sweet-natured and people-oriented
🎾 Loves to run, play, and stay active
🐕 May enjoy a playful canine companion
🏡 Smart dog who will benefit from continued training

Personality & Energy
Mia is not a couch-only companion—she’s a go-go-go kind of girl who needs space, stimulation, and engagement. She enjoys movement and thrives when she has structure, routine, and opportunities to burn off energy.

While she is affectionate and sweet, she can also be exuberant, especially when excited, and will benefit from consistent training to help her channel that enthusiasm in positive ways. She is still learning and will do best with guidance, patience, and clear expectations.

What Mia Is Looking For
✔️ A single-family home with a securely fenced yard
✔️ An active adopter who can meet her exercise needs
✔️ A family willing to provide structure and basic training
✔️ Possibly a playful dog companion for social interaction

Mia is not a low-energy companion, but for the right home, she is a joyful, lively, and loving dog who will bring a lot of personality into daily life. She simply needs someone who understands her energy and is ready to give her the outlets she deserves.

If you’re looking for a bright, active dog who will keep life fun and moving, Mia may be the perfect match.
