About Mika

Mika is a lively 7-month-old mixed breed girl from New Mexico with a resilient spirit. She was found as a stray at just 4 months old, having endured a difficult past that included being shot with multiple BB pellets. After receiving the necessary medical care, including the amputation of one of her back legs, she's now full of energy and enthusiasm. Despite her challenges, she’s a playful puppy who loves to run—sometimes tumbling over in her excitement but always bouncing back up to keep going. Mika enjoys toys, snacks, and, of course, attention. While she can be a bit bossy with other dogs, she’d thrive either as an-only child or alongside a calm, submissive dog. She’s kennel trained and is making progress on potty training, although she’s had some delays because of her past injury. Currently weighing about 27 lbs, she’s expected to reach around 35 lbs when fully grown. Mika has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccinations. Ready to meet your new best friend?
