Dog that spent over 840 days in shelter is finally adopted
OHIO - A dog that spent almost her entire life in an Ohio shelter has found her forever home in time for the holidays.
Mia, a 3-year-old pit bull mix, spent 842 days at the Ashtabula County Animal Protective League. The shelter described her as having a very silly personality and says she loves to go for walks.
On November 28, Mia walked out of the shelter with her new mommy.
