midge

Midge's story didn't start with love.

She spent her days chained outside in Detroit, tangled between overgrown trees with no shade from the summer sun, no warmth in the winter, and no comfort to call her own.

It wasn't until our friends, The Karens, came across her photo on Facebook and reached out with pictures and information about her past that we truly understood just how much this little girl had endured.

We don't know exactly how Midge went from that chain to a shelter.

But what we do know is this:

Midge is safe now.

And she will never spend another day living the life she left behind.

Since coming into rescue, Midge has tackled heartworm treatment like an absolute champ. Through every appointment, every medication, and every hurdle, she has remained the same happy, wiggly girl with a tail that never seems to stop moving.

At just 41 pounds, Midge is the perfect pocket-sized pittie. She's around 2–3 years old and learning more every day what it means to be loved, spoiled, and part of a family.

Now, before we tell you she's perfect... we should probably tell you the truth.

Midge is wonderfully imperfect.

Sure, she loves a good couch nap and can potato with the best of them, but don't let that fool you. When the zoomies hit, they HIT. She can turn your living room into her personal racetrack in record time.

And while she can be quiet and content, she can also be quite vocal when she wants something, when you leave her behind, or when she notices something happening outside. Midge isn't afraid to share her opinions.

She's also discovered that destroying stuffed toys in pursuit of the squeaker is one of life's greatest joys, and she's gotten exceptionally good at it.

Midge currently lives with other dogs and absolutely enjoys having friends around. In fact, as I'm writing this, she's trying her hardest to convince Denver to play. Unfortunately, Denver has other plans, so she's already moved on to her next activity.

Because of her playful side, we think Midge would thrive with another playful dog, kids to run around with, or active adults who enjoy including their dog in everyday adventures.

But just as important as playtime is downtime.

Storms can make her nervous, and after everything she's been through, Midge appreciates having a safe place she can retreat to when she needs a break from the world.

She knows "sit," is eager to please, fully potty trained, crate trained, and has made incredible progress in foster care. What she needs now isn't someone looking for a perfect dog.

She needs someone willing to love a real dog.

A dog who has survived hard things.

A dog who still has a few quirks.

A dog who deserves a family committed to helping her continue to grow into the amazing companion we know she can be.
