How Mia’s Wish Began
When Mia joined our family in May 2008, we thought we were adopting a healthy pup from a veterinarian. Little did we know, Mia was a puppy mill pup who came to us with the deadly Parvo virus. Within three days, she was showing signs that her organs were failing and she was dying. We did everything we could to save her including driving two hours from our home to purchase a home remedy called Parvaid. We were with her at our family vet’s, 45 minutes from our home, every day for five days to give her the medicine every hour, while she was under the care of our vet. With so much love and desperate prayers that she survive, Mia pulled through. We all felt it was a miracle!
Fast forward to June 28th of this year and we had to put Mia to rest. She had lived a full life and it was time for her to be with our first dog, Tasha, at the Rainbow Bridge.
Before Mia’s passing, we had our first foster Blue. He came to us very unexpectedly and although we never really thought we’d become a foster home for dogs, Blue changed all that for us. He was with us for four weeks, enough for us to enjoy fostering and want to do it again, in the near future.
Little did we know that Mia would pass the day before Blue was adopted. A week later, while deep into our grief, Miss Luna came into our lives. We felt it may be too soon to foster again but Luna softened our grief and opened our hearts to her sweet personality. She reminded us so much about Mia that we sensed that Mia had everything to do with her coming into our lives. And hence, feel it’s Mia’s wish that we continue to foster and give puppies another chance at life.
Welcome to Mia’s wish and our journey through fostering. If you fall in love with one of our fosters like we have, get in touch if you feel you are the right family to adopt. We know Mia would love to ensure every pup gets a loving and happy home.
