small sweetie seeking fresh start and love! MIKA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Mika Best Guess for Breed: Rat terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 8 months as of May 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 9 lbs as of 5/15/26; might have a bit more to grow Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: Puerto Rico shelter foster home; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here. Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think this pup would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure they can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. Mika is Looking For: Her forever home! Mika is a sato - a dog from Puerto Rico. Her Puerto Rico foster says Mika is mighty - she's great on leash, loves her walkies, is spunky, and can jump higher than you'd expect from looking at her short little legs! She's eager to get her forever home - sniffy walks, romps in parks, and world exploration, please! Making pup pals along the way would be great too. More than anything, though, she wants to know where she belongs, to safe and loved for all her days. What do you say? Is she the one you see by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has spent time in foster care in the DC area. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.
