Say hello to Maika—an almost 6-month-old, 28-pound bundle of joy with a heart full of love! This sweet girl is playful, curious, and always ready to make new friends. Maika loves exploring the outdoors, chasing toys, and cuddling up after a fun day. She’s a smart young pup who’s eager to learn and thrives with positive guidance. Her gentle personality and bright eyes make her a wonderful companion for families or anyone looking for a loyal, loving friend. Maika is a happy, friendly pup who loves everyone she meets—kids, adults, dogs, and even cats! She’s playful but gentle, full of affection, and always ready for new adventures. She’ll thrive in an active, loving home where she can be part of the family fun. Maika, along with her siblings Maggy and Mandy, was left overnight in a box at the front of a shelter. They were found scared, cold, and hungry. Thankfully, they are now safe and receiving medical care, warmth, and love at our partner rescue, SOS El Arca Animal Rescue. Despite everything they’ve been through, Maika is gentle, resilient, and ready to find a loving home where she will never be abandoned again. Like all puppies, Maika is still learning leash manners and basic cues, but she’s smart, eager, and food-motivated. With guidance and consistency, she’ll grow into a confident, well-behaved companion. We recommend a puppy training class to set her up for success. She is fully vetted: -Spayed and microchipped -Up to date on all vaccines -4DX tested (negative) -On flea/tick and heartworm prevention -Dewormed Her potty training has already started, and she is crate trained, which will help with continuing her potty training in her new home. We would love to bring her to New York on our next transport in April with a committed foster-to-adopt or foster. Interested in Maika?
