Mia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Mia is a beautiful 5 year old much loved girl who is looking for a home as an only dog. She has been living with several other dogs in the home but has fallen out with them around food or toys if they don’t submit or they growl as a back off, she takes that as aggression and starts a fight. She is not aggressive towards dogs outside of the home, it is mainly in confined spaces and around food which has caused fights, so her owners have made this sad decision to find her a new home for her own happiness. Her dad has spent a lot of time training and working with Mia, which makes this decision even harder for them. Out on walks she is very well behaved and will ignore other dogs, however she doesn’t like dogs in her personal space, sniffing her or coming up into her face and she will actively tell them off. Mia has an excellent recall to the whistle and voice, she walks very well to heel or on lead. With people she is the softest most loving dog and would play fetch forever, she loves having cuddles and as much fuss and attention as she can have, she also adores playing with her teddies and will play for ages with them, she is such a sweet girl. She can be too interested in birds (her owners have cockatiels/pigeons/hens) and she has caught and killed them before. She loves long walks and is an amazing swimmer, she loves working (beating/flushing). But finds the close proximity of other dogs too stressful on a shoot. She has a naughty habit of counter surfacing on worktops so her owners wouldn’t recommend leaving food around especially because she can reach much farther than you would believe. She has on one occasion managed to get into the dog food and ate half a bag before she was found out. She’s not been around cats, but with her love of the hunt we would think that a cat free home would be safer. Around livestock she has always met them under control, so never had issues.

About Mia

What life with Mia looks like

Mia is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. GSP Rescue UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — GSP Rescue UK will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mia isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with GSP Rescue UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mia and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
