Mika Cattle Dog & Boxer Mix Manhattan, KS

Hello there, I’m Mika! My name means “intelligent raccoon” in Cherokee. Like a raccoon, I’m skittish and shy. I need a patient and gentle soul to adopt me. A house with other dogs would be best as I look to them for guidance. I was raised with kids, so I don’t mind them, yet fast movements make me nervous. I don’t have a mean or aggressive bone in my body.
I’m a sweet and loving boy once you get to know me as a little kindness goes a long way with me. My breed is unknown, but my mama looked like a red heeler mix. I was running free outside with her and my litter at my first home near where she was found. I’m now getting used to a house. I like it so far, but screens with moving pictures are scary.
I was born August 31, 2024 making me a puppy still. I’m about the size I’m going to be at a guessed 45-50 lbs. I’m up to date on vaccines and neutered.
Training is coming along. I’m still nervous about going into the crate, and I howl when you first leave me. I’d prefer keep an eye on my human. My leash training is coming along though I feel really exposed on walks and need another dog to follow around. Recall is coming along as I learn to trust my foster mama. Potty training is a little mystery because I caught on so quick. I pee when I’m really scared, and I have the occasional accident, but I figured potty training out quickly.

His adoption fee is $220.
