Mia op volwassen leeftijd

This foundation started with a tiny chihuahua name Mia. 

She was born with a cleft palate and it was immediatly suggested by the vet to have her euthanized.

Sue however didn't want to give up on her and wanted to give this little precious being a fighting chance. She tube-fed her every 2 hours, and Mia continued to grow...


While Mia continued to age and grow, she underwent a couple of surgeries in attempt to fix her cleft palate. All broke down, but Mia continued to fight...


Unfortunatly Mia went over the rainbow bridge on April 11th 2012, 2 weeks before her second birthday, due to pneumonia.

Mia had inspired Sue in such a way she decided to start The Mia Foundation, in the way Mia had wanted her to put forth her legacy...
Giving other animals born with birth 'defects' a chance at life and love.

Some succes stories:

Mikey

Born with a weird bald spot and deformed backlegs... He grew up to be a normal healthy chihuahua! 

Hope

Born without frontlegs... She walk on her own, even without her cart.

Marcy

Born with a cleft lip... can now eat on her own.

Muffy

Born without backfeet, but you would never know...

But this little guy really stole my heart... 

Max(imus) was the first one to come to The Mia Foundation and has found his forever home with Sue.

He was born with a serious form of scolioses and it was suggested by vets to have him euthanized...
He would never make it to 6 months all the hospitals and specialists said. But look at him now, he is just 2 weeks away from his first birthday.

With a lot of love, a lot of devotion and one heck of a woman, all these animals have been given the chance of life.

And that's what they all deserve!!

So please, help spraid the word, because if they are born, they deserve a chance!

Lots of Love,
