Mikey's Story

MIKEY <br/><br/>Breed: German Shepherd Mix<br/>Weight: ~55 lbs<br/>Age: ~2 years<br/>Sex: Male<br/>Vetting: Vaccinated, Neutered & Dewormed<br/>Fostered in: Muskoka, ON<br/><br/>⸻<br/><br/>About Me<br/><br/>Meet Mikey! This gentle, loving boy was rescued from Northern Ontario. While we don’t know much about his past, he has settled beautifully into foster home and is now ready to find his forever family.<br/><br/>⸻<br/><br/>Personality<br/><br/>Mikey is a super sweet, calm, and easy-going pup with a medium energy level. He’s the definition of a Velcro dog — wherever you go, he happily follows. He loves being close to his people and truly thrives on companionship.<br/><br/>He is amazing with kids — patient, gentle, and unfazed by running, playing, or noise. He’s also impressively quiet; he rarely barks and isn’t bothered by doorbells or visitors.<br/><br/>⸻<br/><br/>Training & Behaviour<br/><br/>Mikey is a smart boy and eager to learn. Training is ongoing — he knows “sit” and is working on “down” and “stay.” He walks nicely on leash, but he can get excited when he sees other dogs or squirrels. He’s a strong boy, so he’ll need continued guidance and consistency with leash manners.<br/><br/>Crate trained (may whine briefly, but settles)<br/>Fully house trained<br/><br/>⸻<br/><br/>What I Need<br/><br/>Mikey would do best in a patient home committed to continuing his training. He’s eager to please, loves being near his people, and wants nothing more than to be part of a loving family.<br/><br/>A family, couple, or individual who is home often would be ideal for him.<br/><br/>⸻<br/><br/>Fun Fact<br/><br/>Mikey loves food. He’s always hoping for an extra snack and will politely wait for crumbs to fall. He shows no food aggression and will happily go lie down when asked — even if he’d rather stay near the snacks!<br/><br/>⸻<br/><br/>Cats?<br/><br/>Mikey finds cats very interesting. He won’t hurt them, but he may stare or give chase if they run. A cat-free home or cats that are confident around dogs would be best.<br/><br/>⸻<br/><br/>A Little Extra Info<br/><br/>Mikey does have some separation anxiety and doesn’t love being left alone, but with a secure crate he settles safely. A secure crate is important so he doesn’t try to escape.<br/><br/>In return, he’ll give you unwavering loyalty and endless affection.<br/><br/>⸻<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loving, playful, people-devoted companion, Mikey is ready to give you his whole heart <br/><br/>Apply now: https://form.jotform.com/211694512438255<br/><br/>Adoption fee is $750

Don't Furry, Be Happy Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
*Fostering is sort of like pet-sitting. We provide supplies & cover necessary vetting of the animals as they are still under our rescue care but you provide a home for them to live in until they are adopted. *foster-to-adopt is basically adoption but you have a 2 week trial period before fully committing to adoption. This is a great way to ensure you and the animal are a good fit for one another. We do not provide supplies to foster-to-adopt families. There are specific circumstances where we cannot offer the foster-to-adopt option. for instance, if you do not live near our partner vets. *Note: in both cases, if any vetting is required, we will cover the expenses as long as the animals are seen by our partner vet in Mississauga, ON, on occasion we have availability at a vet clinic in Aurora, ON. Q: how does the adoption process work? We require an adoption application to be filled out, then we carry out a Phone interview + home/yard tour virtually, then a reference check, and finally, a legally-binding contract. We do not take rehoming an animal lightly and thus, must ensure they are not going to be rehomed again or experience any further trauma.
