Mikey

Mikey may not have made the cut as a hunting dog, but he would make an absolutely wonderful best friend! This adorable five-year-old male Beagle mixed breed mix is a small guy weighing just 15 pounds, with a short tricolour coat and a heart that is ready to trust and love. Found as a stray, Mikey is now looking for a safe and loving forever home where he can finally settle in and enjoy the good life.Mikey can be a little shy when meeting new people, but he is slowly coming out of his shell and making wonderful progress. He loves going on walks with other dogs, enjoys a good belly rub, and has discovered that tasty treats are definitely the way to his heart! He is good with dogs, adults, and children, making him a lovely candidate for a family looking to welcome a sweet companion. he has not been tested or resided with a cat since coming into rescue so it is not known, at this time, if Mikey will be accepting of a cat. With patience and encouragement, Mikey will continue building confidence and showing off more of his personality.House training, crate training, and leash training are all in progress as Mikey learns his new routines. He would thrive in a patient and understanding home that gives him time to settle in, build trust, and feel comfortable at his own pace. Regular walks, positive reinforcement, consistency, and plenty of affection will help him continue to blossom. Although many dogs become reliable with house training, accidents can still occur while adjusting to a new home environment.Mikey may have started out as a stray, but his next chapter deserves to be filled with belly rubs, tasty treats, leisurely walks, and unconditional love. If you have a little room on your couch and a lot of love in your heart, Mikey is ready to become your new best friend!* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine.
