Mickey
is an adorable 9-month-old white-and-cream-colored boy. He is petite, weighing about 9 pounds. Not only is he a very social dog, he also is leash trained, crate trained, and almost potty trained. Mickey is a very smart pup who is treat motivated and responds quickly to training.
Mickey is your typical Velcro dog, wanting to be wherever you are: he likes to snuggle next to you on the couch and be pet. He spends a lot of his day playing with his doggie foster brother and sisters, but he also he also enjoys lying on a doggie bed chewing a bone or playing with a toy.
Mickey spent his puppy days in a shelter and so did not receive the socialization puppies need to learn to trust people. When he came into rescue, he was very hand shy and would not let anyone touch him or pick him up. He has made wonderful progress in foster care. He likes being pet, and he allows people to touch him. With the proper home and training, he will get over his remaining fears and shyness.
Mickey's wish list for his new home includes:
- A dog-savvy home with a patient owner who is home most of the day and is willing to take him to socialization classes.
- Another playful dog.
- A fenced yard.
- No young children or cats.
Mickey is being fostered in MN.
