Important Notice:
This dog is only available through our  Foster to Forever (FTF) Program!   If you're interested in welcoming this adorable dog into your family, please review our "FTF" Adoption Program, which typically applies to puppies, but Mya is only available via FTF at this time becuase she has not been spayed yet. She will be available for regular adoption after her spay surgery on 6/12/2025. Please also note that applicants must reside in Albany County to be considered for this program.

Mya is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet... whether you are a human, another dog, or even a cat! She just loves everybody. This girl's got beauty in spades, both inside and out. Aside from being an absolute stunner, with her gorgeous hair, markings and heterochromia eyes, her personality is where she really stands out. She's always eager to make new friends, which sometimes leans toward over-eager, so she will need a firm hand when walking on a leash and some patience while learning the finer points of etiquette. Luckily, she's highly motivated by treats and affection, which will make her your new best friend in no time at all.

Mya was surrendered to LAWS by her original family due to severe financial hardship and was no fault at all of her own. Since landing in a foster home, she settled down in just a few short days, made fast friends with the resident dog/cats and figured out the new routine in no time. While she needs just a little bit of training with manners, she's housebroken and has basic commands like sit, down & stay. She's good at learning, problem solving and adapting to change. She has a tall and lanky frame and may gain just a little more weight to reach a healthy, upper-medium to lower-large build.

This unique sweetie is sure to capture a lot of attention, so don't hesitate, and get your adoption application in today! Mya is SO excited to meet you!

 At Laramie Animal Welfare Society, the first step to adoption is completing an adoption application on our website www.laramieanimals.org. Once submitted, your application will be reviewed by our adoption team which typically takes 7+ days.  Keep in mind, the animal you’re interested in when applying may be adopted and no longer available by the time your application is approved. We do not place animals on hold.   Pending approval, your application is valid for 6 months. Also pending approval, you will receive contact information, so that you may inquire about the personalities of specific animals. Adoptions for individual animals will occur by private adoption appointment. Because we are 100% foster-based, appointments are scheduled pending staff, foster home, and vetting schedules.  Should you want to proceed with the adoption, a brief appointment will occur at our adoption center to sign adoption paperwork, receive medical records, and pay the adoption fee.   

**Dog/Puppy applications -  Because of the large volume of dog/puppy applications we are receiving these applications may take longer to process, please be patient. We do not do first come first serve but we place the dog/puppy in the best suited home. If you have questions about the Dog/Puppy process please email lawsdogprogram@gmail.com**
