Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Mia is what many would call a heart dog. She is sweet, gentle, and deeply people-focused, with a calm, thoughtful nature that makes her feel wise beyond her puppy months. While she enjoys playtime, her favorite place is right beside you. If you sit down, she will happily curl into your arms and stay there, content just being close. She watches you, leans into you, and forms bonds quickly and deeply.

Mia prefers connection over chaos and would thrive in a calmer home with someone who truly wants a loyal companion. She has the makings of a devoted best friend, the kind of dog who chooses her person and loves them wholeheartedly. She would do best with a family who values closeness, affection, and a puppy who wants to be their constant shadow.

Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.
