Micha is a 4-year-old wire-haired terrier mix with an incredible story of resilience. He was found as a puppy in a box on the side of a Houston freeway alongside his sister, who sadly didn’t survive. Since then, Micha has overcome so much and grown into a strong, loving, and energetic dog who’s ready for his forever home.
Micha isn’t just any dog—he’s a true working dog at heart. He thrives on activity, purpose, and adventure. Once we understood his needs, he absolutely blossomed. He loves the outdoors and is happiest when he’s moving—whether that’s hiking trails, exploring nature, or swimming at the river. He even learned to kayak and is a confident, skilled swimmer!
One of Micha’s favorite things in the world is… balls. He loves them so much that he started sneaking oranges off the table to add to his “ball collection”—his quirky personality will definitely keep you smiling.
Ideal Home
Micha would thrive with an active, experienced dog owner who understands high-energy, working breeds. He would do best as the only pet in the home and cannot live with cats. He needs someone who can provide him with daily exercise, structure, and attention.
Ongoing Health
No specific health concerns were mentioned in his description.
Training & Support
Micha is potty trained and crate trained. He knows commands such as sit, stay, and recall, and can even walk between your legs. He is great on leash and not typically dog-reactive, though he prefers to be the only pet. Micha is athletic and loves to jump – he can clear up to 5 feet when going after a ball! Because of this, he may need a little guidance navigating tight indoor spaces or obstacles like vacuums or mops.
