Mia, the Dog of the Day
Name: Mia
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Belgian Malinois
Home: Pittsgrove, New Jersey, USA
 
   Mia was rescued from a dark damp basement at about three months of age and has dedicated herself to rescuing others since. With a lot of love and patience she has become the most wonderful family member and a huge help to Joe Nick in finding missing persons. Mia stands for Missing In Action, which we thought was a good name for a dog who does search and rescue work.

    For over 25 years, Sgt. Joe Nicholas (Joe Nick) trained dogs for the New Jersey Department of Corrections, using dogs to find missing people and fugitives. Although retired from the force, he's still looking to reunite family members with their loved ones. Joe's passion and devotion to finding missing persons is inspirational and watching him work with his Bloodhounds, German Shepherds, and Belgian Malinois is amazing. TV show "Joe the Bloodhound" will be on the Biography Channel, and Mia gets to feature in the first episode. It will airing Monday night (tonight) at 11 p.m.

    When she's not working Mia enjoys an exhausting game of fetch and is incredibly playful with humans and her best friend, a German Shepherd named Rome. She loves meeting new dogs and won't hesitate to introduce herself to you with kisses and licks.
