Mia Amore - Jack Russell Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Mia Amore

Mia Amore is a 9-month-old, 22-pound Jack Russell Terrier mix with a zest for life that matches her sweet name. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, house trained, crate trained, and knows her basic commands.

True to her breed, Mia is smart, energetic, and always ready for action. She loves people, enjoys the company of other dogs, and has been friendly with cats. She would absolutely thrive in a home with another playful dog and a large, secure yard where she can run, explore, and burn off some of that puppy energy.

Mia is looking for a new home because her current owner simply doesn't have the time to meet her exercise and enrichment needs. Without enough activity, this busy girl can become overly excited and difficult to manage around guests or on walks, and her excess energy has occasionally led to destructive behavior. The good news? Mia is eager to please, highly trainable, and would blossom with continued work on her manners, regular exercise, and mental stimulation.

Her ideal family would be active, committed, and ready to embrace the fun that comes with a young Jack Russell mix. Daily walks, games of fetch, puzzle toys, training sessions, and canine playmates would make Mia's world complete.

Underneath all that enthusiasm is a sweet, affectionate girl who just wants to love and be loved. With the right outlet for her mind and body, Mia Amore will reward her family with endless laughs, devotion, and joyful companionship.

If you're looking for a spirited sidekick and are ready to help a smart young dog reach her full potential, Mia Amore is ready to steal your heart.

The Jack Russell Terrier is a lively and intelligent small breed known for its boundless energy and strong hunting instincts. With a distinctive white coat and often sporting tan or black markings, these dogs are full of personality and require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Jack Russell Terriers are fiercely loyal and make excellent companions for active owners willing to provide the mental and physical challenges this energetic breed needs to stay happy and healthy.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The mission of Take Paws Rescue is to meet the moral obligation to protect and save the lives of pets...
