About Mica

Mica is a 9-month-old Terrier bursting with heart and intelligence. She’s currently in the Puppies for Parole program, set to graduate on June 12th—a testament to just how fast she learns and adapts. Mica already knows commands like "No," "Yes," "Off," and "Shake" for a high five, and she’s polishing her skills with "Leave It," "Drop It," "Place," and sitting for attention. Her mind is bright and eager for more. What makes Mica truly unique is her gentle, sensitive nature. She’s still finding her courage with new people and crowds, and tends to hang back when the world gets a little too loud. Patience, routine, and steady encouragement will help her blossom; she needs someone who respects her pace. With other dogs, she lights right up—playful, confident, especially around puppies. Mica thrives with dog friends and gets a real boost from their company. Because she’s prone to getting spooked and could bolt, a secure, fenced yard is a must for her. The right family for Mica will be as calm, gentle, and nurturing as she is—ready to celebrate small victories and witness her grow braver by the day. She’s not the sort to barrel over for attention, but win her trust and you’ll see a shy dog transform, step by step, into a loyal companion. Experience the quiet joy of helping Mica discover the world isn’t so scary after all. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
