Mikka

Mixed Breed · Female

ARE YOU THE FOREVER HOME THAT MIKKA SO PATIENTLY WAITS FOR? Mikka's owner was waiting at the vets for the pts appointment when he contacted us and begged us to take Mikka and with your support we changed her fate that day. He wrote "I couldn't believe what I was hearing and given where I was and what was about to happen she (Doris Banham) was literally a life saver" We have kept Mikka safe, happy and well and given her everything she needs but we cannot give her the most important thing now - a lovely forever home to call her own. We need you for that. She needs loving owners and a soft comfortable bed and lots of walks. Could you be the special people that Mikka is so very patiently waiting for? Mikka is a gorgeous steady girl who is a typical Akita. She takes a little time to get to know people and needs to come to you but once she is certain of you she becomes a cuddly affectionate sweetheart who loves to play with you. She loves her food and treats. We have settled the allergies she came in with and she does not need her antihistamine tablets any more.

About Mikka

What life with Mikka looks like

Mikka is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Doris Banham Dog Rescue in North Hykeham.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mikka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mikka?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Doris Banham Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mikka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mikka if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Doris Banham Dog Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mikka already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mikka isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Doris Banham Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mikka and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
