My name is Mishka!

Mishka is the sweetest little soul with the most tender, expressive eyes. She loves nothing more than cuddling close and greeting her humans with pure joy. When you come home, she hops up and down with excitement—as if she simply can’t contain her happiness that you’re back. It’s impossible not to smile when Mishka’s around.

Now that she’s finally getting the calories and care she’s long deserved, Mishka has discovered her playful side. She’s just learning what toys are and has quickly become a big fan of playing ball. She’s an active girl with growing confidence, and it’s been a joy watching her personality bloom.

Mishka is still learning to trust, and she takes mealtime very seriously. It’s clear she hasn’t always known when her next meal would come, and that history has stayed with her. She’s had a hard life, and you can see glimpses of that in how thoughtfully she approaches things—but she is ready to leave that past behind.

After raising seven beautiful puppies, Mishka is ready for a life of her own—one filled with safety, love, patience, and all the comfort she’s been missing. She deserves the very best, and she’s so ready for her forever family to find her.

Mishka is from a local reservation. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
