My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Well hello there! I don't blame you for looking at my bio. I am rather handsome if I say so myself!
My name is Mica but I am not really sold on that name so if you wanted to call me something else, that would be okay with me. I'm a bit over a year old, maybe a year and a half?
I don't remember much about my childhood except landing in the "joint" at a young age.
I was in a very small, rural shelter in Utah that has only 5 kennels and my time was running out.
They take dogs like me back to a room and well.....they don't walk out of there.
My foster mom said she would take me and I was spared! Oh how grateful I am to her to have a new lease on life! I am one of the lucky ones she says.

I bonded very fast to my foster mom because nobody had ever told me that I was a "good boy" or "handsome". I'm learning to play fetch and I LOVE other dogs, especially my sister who is a great dane. I'm told that I play a bit rough but nothing that some supervision and a "beep" from an E collar doesn't redirect. I free play with 9 other dogs and I'm doing great.

My Mom is working on house training me but I'm smart so I'm going to catch on quick. I'll show her! I also enjoy butt rubs, walks, new smells and such. I don't much care for fast moving objects like people on bikes. I bark and lunge at those guys. They are up to no good, I just know it!
Mom says it's my prey drive and fast moving children may not be good for me either.
We have a boy in the home who is 12. He's pretty cool but I love my adult people the most.

I was tested by a nice lady to see if I would be a good candidate for police work or search and rescue. Well, I was just more concerned as to where my foster mom was and peeing on things to get my smell out in the world......I guess that's not what they are looking for so I didn't get that job.
House dog it is! I'll just sit around and wait for a subsidy payment (aka dog food and treats).
Doesn't hurt my feelings any! Please won't somebody give me a chance?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

You will be emailed an application to fill out. If you do not have computer access readily available, say you are looking at this on a friend's computer or at the library, please state that if you leave a voice mail. You will get priority on the call back list. You must be a homeowner, or renter (with ONE YEAR minimum signed lease) with proof of permission to have a pet. You MUST have a fenced yard, very few exceptions. All current pets should be spayed/neutered and current on vaccinations. You will provide a veterinary reference. No pets will be adopted for any use other than companion animals.
An adoption contract will be signed at time of adoption. All pets remain under jurisdiction of S.C.P.R., and can be re-claimed at any time that you are found to be in breech of contract. Read the contract thoroughly and know what you are signing.
We wish to make a good match the first time, so please understand that these policies are in place to protect the dear animals we are dealing with. A pet is a lifetime commitment, please choose wisely and make your decision based on this fact. All adoption fees are non-refundable.

Go meet their pets

We are located in Northern Idaho, up in the panhandle, 2 hours South of the Canada border. 5 hours East of the West coast of Seattle, WA. We are in the beautiful, scenic Coeur d'Alene area. We are separate, private foster homes only, and see potential adopters by invitation after a application is submitted, and approved. Come visit us here and find your forever friend!!!!

More about this rescue

We are a non-profit, 501-C, volunteer group. We are made up of several animal lovers, all volunteering time, money and effort for the animals we foster. All animals are fostered in individual volunteers' homes, and so are well known by the time they are ready for adoption.
All animals are spayed/neutered before leaving, unless this is not possible due to age, in which case a spay/neuter contract will be signed, and is strickly enforced.
Some of our requirements for adoption include a fenced yard, all the way, not partially! Being a homeowner, although renters qualify too, with a signed landlord pet release and reciept of a paid pet deposit. It won't hurt that all current pets in your home are spayed/neutered, as this shows responsibility and good pet ownership. We will ask for a veterinary reference, so have that info handy when you call.
We strive to make the perfect match the first time, and so you should expect a thourough interview from our adoption center volunteers. We have a 90% sucess rate making these matches. We hope you can become one of those sucesses!
