🌸 Meet Mia 🌸
Breed: Long Coat Chihuahua
Color/Markings: Chocolate & Tan Tri
Weight: ~6.0 lbs
Age: Young Adult (Born at Salem’s Finest Chihuahuas) December 31st, 2021
Adoption Fee: $1550.00 (PENDING)
Application Required: Puppy & Dog Application
Mia was born here at SFC and is ready to retire. She has had a few amazing litters for us and has made a lot of wonderful families with her babies. Her babies inherited her amazing temperament and loving demeanor. Mia is fully health tested, which means very little to a regular pet home but what it means is that she has had her eyes, patellas and cardiac all certified and cleared of any genetic diseases. Patellas and hearts are two of the largest issues within the breed so knowing hers are healthy gives us peace of mind, and should to you as well.
This includes:
✔️ Genetic health testing via Embark (clear of all breed-relevant conditions)
✔️ OFA Certified:
– Patellas: Normal
– Heart: Clear of murmur
– Eyes: Certified by an ophthalmologist
You can verify her health clearances on the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) database.
-Mia has had two dental cleanings to date
🐾 Mia's Personality & Training
Mia is a very sweet, gentle soul with a calm nature. She is:
-
Pee pad trained
-
Dog door trained
-
Pen & crate trained
-
NOT currently leash trained
She enjoys the company of other Chihuahuas, loves warm blankets and laundry, and can often be found sunbathing or digging for worms. She adores toys, chewies, water play, and is eager to please her special human.
She may be a little shy at first in a new setting or with new people—but once she settles in, she truly blossoms into a loving little companion.
🏠 What She’s Looking For
Mia would thrive in a home:
-
With or without other dogs (including larger breeds)
-
That may include small children or cats
-
Willing to be patient while she adjusts
-
Committed to spaying her within 120 days of adoption
Potty Training Disclaimer:
While she is potty trained here, we cannot guarantee she will be in a new environment. Like all of our rehomed adults, we recommend being open-minded and ready to reintroduce her to a new routine.
Please also read our post below on the 3-3-3 Rule—it helps outline what to expect during a dog’s transition period.
