This is Mika
She is a spayed Female, 10 years old, Housetrained, Lead Trained, has Rabies vaccinations, has DHLPP vaccinations, on Heartworm preventative, microchipped.Mika is a female, husky between 5-8 years old. We came about Mika through a friend that saved her from an extremely abusive environment. Mika was locked in a cage 24/7 without food or water by owners who were purposely trying to euthanize her. Our friend had no other information about Mika, so we took her in not knowing what she was like or what she was capable of. She came into our home with two Queensland Heelers, myself and my husband. She lived just us 5, for about two years until our first born baby came along. Our daughter is now 19 months old.
Mika is VERY sweet and lives to please! She genuinely loves people. Her groomers absolutely adore her and love when she comes for her bath. She thrives on a strong alpha figure in her life. Currently this person is my husband. Mika had been with us only a few weeks, when she snapped at my husband, Davin. He reacted with his loud booming voice, and immediately was on top of Mika. She ran scared of him, and this was the last time we had a situation like this towards other humans. She comes into the house every night and greets Davin first and offers a paw - we call this “an offering of a paw in friendship.” There is most definitely a hierarchy in Mika’s mind. She gets along with our other two dogs, but is in constant competition to be the leader of the dogs. Of our two Queensland’s, we have two different personalities. Maddie is 11 years old - she has zero dominant bones in her body and wouldn’t hurt a fly (maybe a bird if she could catch one). She is the one Mika is after the most - we have many times had to pull Mika off of Maddie. This isn’t a dog fight there is never any biting, just noise. Mika is reminding maddie she’s in charge of her. And then we have Jake - an 8 year old male who couldn’t care less about other dogs. He’s the master of ignoring other animals. He only cares about Me (Sam). However, Mika’s high energy and want to play often irritates Jake who will get up from wherever he’s sleeping to go at Mika in an effort to make her stop. She most times “listens” to him and twice it has escalated into a situation where she’s trying to defend herself. Jake has fought back, but he’s no where near a size to compete in a fight with Mika.
Mika as mentioned before, is an absolute sweetheart. She loves belly rubs, will lay with you and lives to please. She loves to play! Hot laps are her favorite especially with you’re participating. She does play rough, as her veterinarian put it, “she treats you like a dog.”
We are looking to re-home Mika because of a bite that occurred on our daughter. Mika has tried her best to be patient with the baby. She has let the baby pet her and sit with her, has been gentle in taking food from her. But our daughter has a loud personality and we always could see in Mika’s face she was uncomfortable. What happened between our daughter and Mika is in no way Mika’s fault. We understand that. It has come to our attention after this incident that we don’t feel Mika is happy here. She does have a strong prey drive - she’s had many chicken dinners and has caught gophers and rats. We do feel she would kill a cat if the situation presented itself. She does not do well with dogs outside of her pack. She has a “get them first before they get me” view on the world outside of her home.
