Meet Mia!

This is Mia, the newest member of our family.

She is a beautiful 4-year-old yellow lab and she came free from Craig's list. What's the catch? No catch, really. Her previous owners are a big hunting family and she is a bit gun shy. Also, after she had one litter of puppies they discovered she was a carrier for a common gene in labs that causes heat stroke. They don't want to breed that gene, so their only condition is that we have her spayed. She is a little skittish as she gets used to her new digs and family, but she is really sweet with the kids and sleeps in Abby's room.

She is so beautiful! I think labs are the best after 3 years old anyways- you don't have to deal with them chewing everything to pieces... She should fit in wonderfully with your beautiful farm girls!
