Ideal Home/Adopter: A house with another dog that likes to play, and an owner who likes to play and cuddle. Mikey is a social guy and wants to hang with you and your fur-babies. He needs to get his energy out and play, he is a young pup after all. A playmate is ideal for this guy.

Likes: Walks, tug of war, playing with stuffed animals, cuddling with other dogs or people. If you lift up a blanket and make room for him, he will jump right in and snuggle up!

Dislikes: Some separation anxiety but having another dog helps Mikey feel calm and this is something that can be worked on/resolved. He is already showing progress in his foster home.

Additional Considerations: He is timid of new people at the start but once he opens up, he will be your best friend.

What makes this dog special: Mikey loves to snuggle up, whenever his foster parents pull up the dog cameras he is almost always snuggled up with his foster brothers. Whenever the fam is watching TV he loves to rest his head on you and give you the cutest puppy eyes. Mikey is very smart and is eager to learn. He has figured out how to solve so many puzzles. We are impressed with his puppy brilliance. From a variety of food toys, or how to sneak a toy that was set aside, and how to open up a baby gate and sneak into bed for some midnight cuddles. This guy is ready to solve all of these mysteries.
