Mica is a 10-year-old German shorthaired pointer and Labrador retriever mix. He’s a distinguished gentleman with particular tastes, and as such, it’s taken him quite a while to find his forever home.
In fact, it took nearly seven years — but in these later years of his life, he will finally know the consistency and love that comes with being adopted into a forever home.

Mica first came to the League for Animal Welfare in Ohio in 2014. Through no fault of his own, the Dog had experienced some rough treatment from kids in his formative years that caused him to be unpredictable in certain circumstances — a trait that made him difficult to place.
Because of his age, selectiveness with other dogs, distrust of children and nervousness around new people, Mica needed a “unicorn” adopter.
“I may be a little older, but don’t let my years fool you!” a post about him from 2019 said. “I’m full of love and energy, and I am ready to find my forever home. I like my doggie friends and could probably even go home with one, IF it’s the ‘right’ one!
“I also love my people very much, but I will need you to be patient with me as strangers do scare me. Since I’ve been at the League for a little while now, I like a lot of patience as new folks warm up to me. When I was younger, kids were not very nice to me, so I would rather just stick with adults taking care of me!
