Meet the fabulous Mika, a delightful 60-pound, 8-9 year old female GSD mix, possibly part Husky! 🎉 This beautiful girl is overflowing with love, playfulness, and devotion that will warm any heart. Can you believe she’s healthy, microchipped, and all set with her core vaccinations until July 2028? Talk about a total package! When it comes to new faces, Mika’s excitement is contagious! She welcomes strangers with open paws and is happily non-reactive during those daily walks. But wait, it gets even better—she absolutely adores young children! Just imagine the pure joy she brings to their lives. 😇 Now, let’s talk about her social skills! Mika is good with other dogs, though she can be a tad nervous when meeting new furry friends. But don’t worry; once she gets her bearings, she’s ready to play! Just be sure they’re polite, as she prefers a laid-back approach to friendships. Oh, and good news—she’s friendly with small dogs too! 🐶 However, Mika has a bit of an aversion to cats; she’s known to chase them away from the yard, so a feline-free home is recommended for her happiness. This girl is house-trained and enjoys free-roaming the home when her person, Amanda, steps out. Mika knows a bunch of commands like “sit,” “stay,” “shake,” and even “no”—she’s practically a canine scholar! ✨ On a leash, she might pull a little at first, but she quickly responds to corrections and walks like the sweet angel she is when encountering other dogs. While her off-leash recall in enclosed areas is impressive, she’s still perfecting her skills in the great outdoors. Mika also loves car rides—she’s the calm companion you need on your next road trip! 🚗❤️ Plus, she enjoys playing fetch with her beloved stuffies and is pretty gentle about it—what a gem! Now here’s a part of her story that will pull at your heartstrings: Amanda found Mika with a rope around her neck, underweight and lethargic, suffering from heartworms. With a ton of love and care, Amanda and her boyfriend nursed her back to health over a year, but now, with Amanda’s medical condition and a recent separation, the urgency to find Mika her forever home has arisen. She needs more exercise and attention to thrive! Mika is currently residing in Sacramento, and her adoption fee is a mere $50.
