Mickey German Shepherd Dog & Black Labrador Retriever Mix Glendale, AZ

Why is Mickey still with us? It’s the question we are asking ourselves all the time! Mickey was born at SPR to mom, Lumi in November 2021. Mickey is a 2-year-old boy that really needs a family of his own. We know his mom was GSD but not sure if dad was a lab or maybe a Dane, but this boy is athletic and strong so small kids and small animals are not recommended for him. Mickey was in foster for a while but had to come back into our rescue center and there he has stayed. We don’t know if he is the victim of Black Dog Syndrome, but his shiny black and white coat makes him look so regal. We say it’s his “tuxedo” look!

Mickey wants to begin his REAL life, so we are really looking to get this boy into a home for the first time in his life. We are making it our mission to get Mickey home for the holidays! Mickey is engaging, fun loving, playful and always up for adventure. What Mickey needs is a home that is committed to working with him as he really needs focus on the basics. Mickey will need introduction to other dogs and due to size, seniors, timid and small dogs would not be a fair match with Mickey. He was in with other dogs in foster, but his size and enthusiasm has him needing the right match in a playmate of course an only dog home will suit him fine as he will take all the attention you can give him.

He LOVES our baby pool, so a home with a pool where he can learn to really swim and burn off energy would be amazing. He will be a great hiking dog once his leash skills are perfected. He loves walking with the volunteers, but he does pull and is a strong boy. If interested in meeting Mickey and learning more about her, please submit an adoption application.

Note: We will only schedule meet and greets with an approved application. We are an all-volunteer organization. It may take a couple of days to process an application and complete reference checks.
