Story
Adopt Pika

• Weight: 3.3 kg

Rescue Story
Pika was rescued from an animal hoarding situation where dozens of dogs were found living together. He was brought to a municipal shelter before being rescued and given the chance to start a new life.
Despite his difficult start, Pika has a gentle and affectionate personality and is learning to trust people more each day.
Personality with People
Pika can be a little shy when meeting new people at first. However, with a few treats and a little patience, he warms up quickly and can usually relax within a day.
Once he feels comfortable, he becomes very affectionate. He loves attention, will run over when called, and enjoys cuddling. He can be picked up comfortably and will even roll over to show his belly when he trusts you.
With Other Dogs
Pika is friendly and social with other dogs. He often approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to say hello and invite them to play.
He can feel slightly unsure around very large dogs, but he doesn’t panic — instead he cleverly avoids them and continues playing. He tends to prefer dogs closer to his own size.
He currently stays with another rescued dog, Hazel, and they play together often and even sleep curled up next to each other.
With Cats
Pika has not lived with cats before, but a cat test can be arranged if needed.
Energy Level
Low to medium energy.
He enjoys outdoor activity but is also calm and relaxed indoors once he has had some exercise.
Walking
Pika has not had much experience with walks yet. However, because he follows people well and enjoys human companionship, we believe he will learn quickly once he bonds with his adopter.
Additional Notes
Pika does not guard food from people or other dogs.
He is currently using pee pads indoors. Since he was rescued from a hoarding environment, it is possible he may experience some separation anxiety if left completely alone at first. With time, patience, and routine, he should continue gaining confidence.
He is calm in a crate, although he may bark if another dog approaches while he is inside. Interestingly, once the crate door opens and he meets the dog face-to-face, he becomes relaxed and friendly.
Pika is a small dog with a big heart who is ready to leave his past behind and start a loving new chapter with his forever family.
