Meet Mika!
Mika is a super mellow young pup with loving nature. She adapted and thrived quickly in foster care. She’s very affectionate around familiar faces; also gets along well with dogs and cats. She loves the head/tummy rubs and cuddling that follows. She is super smart and aimed to please, so is easy to train. Around the house she obeys rules, has good judgement, and good self-discipline. She waits patiently before eating her food, before going thru doorways, and when getting in and out of the car. She could be a bit shy around unfamiliar environment, but easy to befriend with yummy treats. She is calm and stable, not a chewer or barker when inside the house. Mika is crate trained to sleep overnight and potty trained to go outside. Her favorite pastime is her daily walks, and romping around with doggie friends in the park. Please watch Mika’s videos (below) to learn more about this sweet girl!

About Mika’s rescue:
Mika was one of the lucky TNR (trap/neuter/release) shelter dogs that was bailed out by the rescuer before her scheduled release date.

Mika met a male and a female stranger.
