MIA

Mia (aka "Missing in Action", named by her foster mom, Kellie Kubala) was a 5 month old female puppy from Texas who came into rescue April 28, 2001. On May 5, she had to be euthanized due to contracting the Parvo Virus either at the shelter, on the street or at her previous "home", and complications with Sarcoptic mange. She had eaten only one full meal since being in foster with DDBS. As it was when we got her she only had weighed 24 lb. and had no hair on her entire body. She seemed to have had a peppy attitude and a thrive for playing as would any other puppy which inspired us to help but she suddenly took a turn for the worse and it was the only humane thing we could do for her. She has passed knowing that others cared for her in such a short time and that they tried to undue what another human had painfully and carelessly done to her. Shame on the previous owner who cowardly threw this girl out on the street and who did not seek to get her the help she needed before her condition was so severe. And for the breeder who did not microchip her before she had left their care and let her slip through the cracks and become just an unfortunate victim of the breeding game. -George
