Mikaela and her family adopted Lia in 2024. They live in the Swedish countryside and came to know about Lia through a friend’s Facebook post.

“We had a unique experience adopting Lia, thanks to Sofia, who took care of all the paperwork and blood tests related to the adoption process. Everything went smoothly, and we are incredibly grateful for Sofia’s help.

It all started when we saw a Facebook post from our mutual friend, Irina. She shared that Sofia had found Lia, a dog in need of a home.

At the time, our family had discussed the idea of getting a dog, but we hadn’t planned on adopting one immediately. However, Lia’s story resonated with us, and we decided to welcome her into our home. We quickly made the preparations for her arrival, and we’re so glad we did.

Life with Lia has been nothing short of wonderful. She is incredibly friendly, sociable, and great with our children, who are seven and nine years old. Lia even joined in a child’s birthday party and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The kids love playing with her, and she absolutely adores the attention. She truly is a “people’s dog!”

Our only challenge so far has been managing Lia around our chickens on the farm. She has strong hunting instincts, so we are working on helping her adjust to the chickens, teaching her that they, too, are part of the family.

Lia gets along brilliantly with our two cats. They spend a lot of time together when we are at work or school, and it’s clear that she feels at home with them. The children have taken on the responsibility of managing Lia after school, and it has worked out perfectly.

Lia is truly the world’s best dog. She knows how to find the comfiest spots on the sofa or in bed for a nap. During the day, she is a keen runner and needs daily opportunities to run in the forest. It’s one of the things she enjoys most, and we make sure she gets plenty of exercise.

We’re looking forward to enrolling Lia in a dog training course to teach her to come when called and to continue working on her training. It’s an exciting next step in her journey with us, and we’re eager to watch her grow and learn.”
