Mya is a sweet girl who craves human affection. She's an excellent companion who will be content being by your side; she excels at snuggles and kisses! She's the perfect mix of energy for walks & exploring and then laidback "chill" for Netflix & couch cuddles.
Mya's start to life taught her that not all people are kind but in spit of that, she's always willing to give them a chance. She needs slow introductions to new people & a little extra time to adjust to new situations and environments. We've found that having Mya on a leash when meeting new people works best; by having someone she trusts holding her leash, it lets her know that they "have her back" and won't let anyone harm her. Once she knows she's safe, you'll see her true, sweet, happy personality blossom!
We recently discovered that Mya likes other dogs! Mya's play style is polite & she respected the other dogs signal that playtime was over and went about her business of following her person around the house. Having a well balanced dog in the home may even help Mya gain confidence. As always, a meet & greet with any resident or frequently visiting dogs is required. Mya will do best with only older, respectful children. Her prey drive is strong, so no cats or small animals for her! Squirrels love to tease, so we're also recommending a securely fenced-in yard, a cable tie-out that doesn't reach the fence and supervision whenever she's outside.
