Australian Shepherd and Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in Franklin, Tennessee

When we tell the story of Mika, we have chosen to leave out the harsh details of the neglect and dirty conditions that she lived in. Suffice to say it was disturbing to view. She was rescued alongside her sister, Millicent who endured the same harsh living conditions. Despite a history of being mistreated and neglected, Mika the 18 month old, 52 pound Aussie/Hound mix girl has a heart of gold and has shown zero resentment. She has spent the last few weeks learning what it means to be safe, clean, and cared for, and she has taken to her new life with total grace.
Personality: Calm, affectionate, and steady. Mika is the definition of a sweetheart. She has a gentle, low-key temperament that makes her a perfect fit for a family looking for a more relaxed companion. She is fantastic with kids and simply wants to be where the love is. While she hasn't quite figured out what to do with toys yet, she is incredibly food-motivated, which has made her recent leash training a breeze!
Mika is a polite listener who comes when called and is eager to please. She would be a wonderful addition to a home that values cuddles and a steady presence. She is ready to trade her rescue status for a lifetime of treats and affection.

Best Skills: Calm demeanor, highly food-motivated (easy to train!), great listener, and kid-friendly.

Ideal Home: A loving family that enjoys a peaceful pace and plenty of bonding time.

Mika is ready for a new and fresh reset to her life. She is ready to leave the hard past behind and only look ahead. She is in Nashville, TN but can be transported to the northeastern states that the transport van visits and stops in. Critter Cavalry Rescue would love to hear from you at ccrtennessee@gmail.com We stand behind this girl being one of the best dogs you could ever call your very own.

ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.
