In the shelter’s words
Meet Mya, a precious freckle faced 21-month-old English Setter who is looking for a patient, loving, and active home to call her own. Mya’s rescue journey started in a South Texas shelter where she was turned in because she wasn’t a good hunting dog and we agree, hunting isn’t for her. Her prey drive is low/medium and her activity level is high for a young field ES; she regularly does 45-60k steps on her Fi GPS collar daily. If you let her, Mya will run and play all day until it’s time to go to bed, only needing 15-30 minute rest breaks several times a day. A home where her people aren’t home during the day to let her in and out and in and out and in and out would be difficult for her because she’s not ready for unsupervised free roam inside and she needs someone bringing her in from the outside to take rest breaks. Mya has absolutely blossomed since arriving at her foster home in S/Central Texas. It took this sensitive, sweet girl just three days to acclimate with the people, dogs and cats. She is still very much a puppy at heart and brings a joyful, bright energy to every single day. Mya has a soft, submissive personality. She shows signs of a past where people may have been harsh with her, so she responds best to gentle guidance, positive reinforcement, and lots of love. Once she knows she is safe, her true puppy personality shines! She is active, happy, and loves to self-exercise in the large setter-interesting fenced yard at her foster home. Mya is incredibly social with other dogs and is seeking a home with a playful, active canine companion. She is curious about the resident cats and likes to sniff and nose them so she will do best with inside only cats that don’t run from her. While she is a quiet girl overall, Mya will alert-bark outside at noises or people passing by, though she has been very responsive to gentle correction from a citronella bark collar. Mya’s house-training is going well and she has not had any accidents with a routine of leashing in the house or being crated when unsupervised. She sleeps beautifully in her crate at night and stays there comfortably for up to 3 hours if her foster family is out. She does not have separation anxiety as long as other dogs are nearby and in the same room. Mya is treat-motivated and eager to please and learn. Mya will thrive in an active household with a secure, Setter-interesting, fenced yard (minimum 5 feet) where doors and gates are always monitored and kept closed and there is another active companion dog. Because of her puppy personality, high energy, mouthiness, and love for “collecting” items and often chewing them up, she is not a candidate for a home with kids where there will be toys, clothing, etc. within her reach. She would be a good first field English Setter if you are patient and will give her time to outgrow her puppy chewing phase, have previous experience with high energy dogs and are ready to give this deserving, affectionate girl the spoiled life she deserves. Mya will be giving you kisses and lap snuggles within minutes of meeting you! Mya is fully vetted, spayed, tested, on heartworm preventative and microchipped. She is currently on a diet to gain weight.

Plan a visit with the source organization
Our adoption fee is $300 for a dog under 1 year old, $250.00 for a dog 1 year and older. Some dogs will be available for a lower fee. Adopters must be 21 years old or older. Any pets currently in the adoptive home must be spayed or neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. Heartworm preventative is now recommended by Veterinarians in almost all areas of the US, and most are recommending year-round use. If your Vet recommends heartworm testing and consistent use of heartworm preventative medication we will verify to ensure your Vet records show heartworm testing completed and preventative purchased. For dogs currently in an applicantâs home, you should have a history of providing this care for at least the past year. If there are no dogs currently in the home we will check prior vet references and verify heartworm testing and use of preventative for dogs previously in the home. The purchase of heartworm preventative requires a prescription and prior purchases, if applicable, will be verified during the vet reference portion of our application process. If the applicant's vet clinic recommends heartworm preventative but it is purchased elsewhere, we ask applicants to provide proof of the prior purchases. After we receive a completed application to adopt, we conduct a phone interview and a home visit before approving an applicant. A vet reference must be provided for all current and recent pets. Personal and vet references will be verified. If renting, please provide your landlord's contact information or a verification letter from your landlord regarding acceptance of pets.
