Scared Shelter Dog Seeks Loving Home: Mia's Story Will Melt Your Heart

Fort Lauderdale Shelter Dog Seeks New Home: Mia's Story of Loss and Hope A six-year-old German Shepherd named Mia is searching for a new home after being surrendered to the Humane Society of Broward County. Mia, who spent her entire life with her previous family, is understandably nervous in her new environment. "She may be big, but she’s just a scared girl," says a shelter worker in a recent video posted online. The video shows Mia initially withdrawn in her kennel, but she quickly warms up to gentle attention, revealing a friendly and well-behaved personality. Mia enjoys playing, is intelligent and active, and loves people, including children. However, she does exhibit some anxieties, such as during thunderstorms and fireworks. The shelter emphasizes the importance of a dog meet if a potential adopter has other dogs at home. The Humane Society hopes this heartwarming video will help Mia find a loving family to give her a second chance. To meet Mia, potential adopters are encouraged to submit an application online at www.humanebroward.com. The shelter is open 7 days a week, with adoptions starting at 11 am. For any questions, the shelter can be reached at 954-989-3977.
