Alumni  Super Sweet Senior, Mickey Seeking A Forever Home!  Poor Mickey!  Through no fault of his own he has had at least 4 homes!  We found him in 2016 at a community free access shelter at the height of the canine flu!  Not only was that a strike against bim but he had broken toes and was next in line to the euth room.  We got him our in the nick of time.  We covered his medical care.  He improved, and healed and landed a lovely new Mom.  Sadly Coved him and his mom passed.  The family sent Mickey to live with a family friend that adored him.  Sadly, his new Mom fell ill and needed to relinquish him to us.   No Micky is on the hunt for a forever family that won't let him down.

Mickey is a very gentle boy that  loves everyone.  He is pretty quiet, happy to take long naps in between wandering around the yard, sitting on a deck or taking a walk.  He is also happy to nap with you and the family cat!  He is quiet and always hoping yummy food might drop his way.  He gets along with everyone.  He was pee pad trained which might be helpful.  We estimate he is 14ish..  He is a healthy fella although has had some allergy issues in the past and recovered IVDD.  

Mickey is fully vetted,  He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is heartworm negative,  His adoption donation is $450.00.   He is on the hunt for his own completely committed family,  Little Dogs can live to be 25 years old so he wants to be sure al for better or for worse!
