About Micha

Micha is a resilient, adventurous 4-year-old wire-haired terrier mix who’s packed a lifetime of survival into just a few years. Found as a puppy in a box on a Houston freeway, he’s since overcome loss—and grown into a loyal, athletic dog with a real zest for living. Micha is happiest when he has a job to do: whether it’s hiking, running trails, kayaking, or swimming at the river, he truly comes alive outdoors. He loves balls more than anything, even sneaking oranges from the table to add to his growing "ball collection." His quirky side will keep you entertained. He’d thrive with an active, experienced handler who understands working breeds and leads an adventurous lifestyle. Micha is potty and crate trained, knows his basic commands, and is a pro in the car—ready to go anywhere. He enjoys being the center of attention, so he’s looking for a home where he’s the only pet. While not typically dog-reactive, he much prefers solo status and isn’t a fit for a home with cats. After a day of activity, he soaks up cuddles and affection. With his athleticism (this guy can clear a five-foot fence for a ball), he’ll need someone who can provide structure and a safe space for his high jumps and endless curiosity around new things like vacuums or mops. If you want a devoted companion to adventure by day and snuggle by night, Micha is ready. He deserves a fresh start with a person who’ll keep him moving, engaged, and loved.
