Dog euthanasia survivor gets new home

DETROIT, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- The Michigan Rottweiler that survived a euthanasia attempt has found a new home and renewed medical treatment, her owner said.

Matt Olivarez, 27, of Detroit, said Mia, the 11-year-old dog that made headlines last month after she recovered from euthanasia treatment at the Westcott Veterinary Care Center, is moving to the country with friends who asked to remain anonymous, The Detroit News reported Tuesday.

Olivarez said donations have flooded in from around the country to pay for Mia's veterinary treatment for conditions including a ruptured disc in her spine, arthritis in her hips and spine, and partial paralysis in her right rear leg.

Brenda Shead, Olivarez's mother, said Mia has regained her appetite for roast chicken and rice.
