When Keith and Meghan spoke earlier this month, Keith said Meghan said her family felt \u201csettled\u201d in Montecito and wanted to bring another dog into their life. They talked about the family’s other two rescue dogs (Guy, also a beagle, and Pula, a black Labrador retriever) and flock of chickens, which were rescued by Meghan from a slaughterhouse. In that first conversation, Keith said, she knew Meghan was \u201cthe real deal\u201d and was \u201csuper stoked\u201d at the possibility of her adopting from their organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve been doing this so long, I have a stringent process for fosters and adopters,\u201d Keith said. \u201cI work off [my] gut as well. When I meet people, I just know. This is going to work out or not work out<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n

Her gut feeling proved right when the duke and duchess made a \u201clowkey and casual\u201d visit to LA on Aug. 11 to meet Mia, Keith said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fell in love with them when they came here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

There was an immediate connection between Mia and the Sussexes, she said, and within seconds of walking in, the duchess passed one of Keith’s potential adopter \u201ctests\u201d by getting down on the floor to greet the dog.<\/p>\n

\u201cMia just ran to them, something she’d never done \u2014 she’s pretty subdued, she’s been traumatized \u2014 and Meghan immediately just got on the floor with her and was giving her love,\u201d Keith said.<\/p>\n

When Harry sat down on a couch, she added, \u201cMia ran right over to him, put her paws on his knees, and looked into his eyes.\u201d Keith said that Harry had done his research and peppered her and fellow volunteer Malina Shirley, who drove Mia and her puppies from the East Coast to California, with questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe asked about the lump on her chin, if it needed a biopsy, her loves, her dislikes,\u201d Keith said. \u201cIt was really heartwarming, it was everything you’d want [a potential adopter] to ask and then some.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shirley told BuzzFeed News that she knew it was \u201csomething special\u201d and \u201cmeant to be\u201d as soon as Harry and Meghan walked into the house. \u201cMamma Mia was so super excited, just so happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sussexes spent some time in the yard with Mia on her own, Keith said, and when Meghan came back into the house, she was carrying the dog in her arms. \u201cThat was it,\u201d Keith said.<\/p>\n

After finalizing the adoption, the couple were about to leave with Mia when Harry stopped because the dog was sniffing around the building in the backyard where the rescue dogs are housed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said, ‘We can’t leave yet, there’s something [in there] that she wants, does she have a favorite toy or something?’\u201d Keith said. \u201cHe was so adamant that Mamma Mia [wanted] something in that back house,\u201d Shirley added.<\/p>\n

They all entered the building and Mia immediately went to a container full of dog toys. \u201cI tipped the toy box and she dug her little nose in,\u201d Shirley said. She rooted around until she found a fox toy that Shirley had given her on their cross-country trip to California. \u201cShe She walked outside, and she was so proud of herself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Harry was delighted, Keith said. \u201cHe said, ‘I knew it, I knew she wanted something in this room. Now we can go home because she has her toy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was so sensitive and intuitive,\u201d she said. \u201cAt that point, I knew she’s going to have the best home.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
