This is my first foster dog ever. I am so lucky to have such a good girl for my first time. I've been through many many kittens.. but no dogs.
Mia (I shortened it from Acumia), is a three year old Mexican Hairless. She was previously used in a puppymill and had been abused. Someone rescued her 10 months ago... but gave her up to us after trying for the past 10 months to housebreak her. Us being Pets/Friends For Life, the cat rescue. Thoguh we do take dogs if there is a foster home available. Or like Soda Pup, an emergency.
She is a very nervous, timid dog. But once she gets to know you, then she lvoes you.
I find that she bonds to mainly one person.. as she will follor me all over the hosue, but won't follow anyone else.
Or when we get home from being out for a bit, she will jump all over me, but not evenbat an eye at anyone else.
She has pooped in the house about 5 times now.. I am trying to rid her of that issue.. but I don't know how successful I will be.
She sleeps in my bed with me, under the covers. Since she has no hair to keep her warm
She and Orion did get into a bit of a tussel the other night.. she was bouncing around and Orion didn't like it and attacked her.. she ended up with a few cuts and a little bite on her head.. but I've been cleaning it and keeping an eye on it for infection.
Here are some pictures.
Mia and Apollo, my dog.
