More about MIKEY

MIKEY is a happy goofball with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He was raised by a young teenager who was living on his own, and later spent two years in an outdoor kennel. Despite such a difficult and unstable start, Mikey has remained joyful and affectionate, and he’s now hoping for a patient family who can help him learn what it means to live a normal, loved life inside a home. Mikey’s adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines, deworming, and microchip. We believe he is about four years old. He gets very excited at mealtime and happily “talks” to let you know — hurry, hurry, hurry, I want to eat, eat, eat! He is not quite fully house trained yet, but he is very treat-motivated and eager to learn. Mikey strongly prefers being indoors, likely because life was so hard for him outside as a youngster. Mikey would thrive in a home in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos area with a calm person or family who can lovingly tolerate his quirks as he continues learning how to be a continuously cherished dog. If you have a same-size or larger female dog, she may help him adjust more quickly by modeling confident, family-dog behavior. Mikey adores people and is eager to show his happiness and affection. He may be a bit too rambunctious for small children, but older kids would be a great fit — especially since he was raised by a teenager.

We would love to introduce you to this wonderful boy and help him find the safe, loving home he so deeply deserves.
