Mishka's Story

Mishka is a handsome, independent dog who is seeking an experienced, dog-savvy owner who understands and respects canine body language. It is important to allow him the space he needs to build trust. Because of this, he is looking for an adult-only home or one without young children. He is also dog-selective, so any canine companions would need to be carefully matched.<br/>True to his breed's nature, he's not the type of dog who wants constant cuddles or attention. He prefers to bond through walks and enrichment. Veterinary visits may require extra patience and planning to help him feel comfortable.<br/><br/>Mishka is currently being treated for Lyme disease and should continue his medication until the prescribed course is complete. Many dogs recover well, though it's important to know that Lyme tests may remain positive in the future, and treatment is typically only needed if clinical symptoms develop again.<br/>For the right person, Mishka will be a loyal companion who values mutual respect over constant attention. If you appreciate an independent dog with a big personality and are willing to let him set the pace of your relationship, Mishka could be the perfect addition to your home.
