Meet 2403-1233 Myka
Myka is a 4yo lab mix that was surrendered when his owner moved and couldn't bring him or his brother (2402-0465 Mamba) along. He is house trained and good with older kids, cats and dogs. He does require a slow, proper introduction when meeting new dogs. His previous owner said he's a great dog for hikes and exploring the outdoors. He knows many tricks and loves learning new ones. He can be reactive over new dogs and people and needs a slow introduction. He may not be the social at a party, he wants to find his people and be part of a family again - he doesnt needs to be friends with everyone.
Adoption Process

It is recommended that all adopters have their new pet examined by a licensed veterinarian within 10 days of adoption. Routine health care for the life of your pet is very important. It is vitally important for adopters to locate a veterinarian/veterinary establishment for continued care.

Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center takes the adoption of a pet very seriously and wants to help adopters and the new pet make a smooth transition into the home.
