About MIKEY

MIKEY is a happy goofball with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He was raised by a young teenager who was living on his own, and later spent two years in an outdoor kennel. Despite such a difficult and unstable start, Mikey has remained joyful and affectionate, and he's now hoping for a patient family who can help him learn what it means to live a normal, loved life inside a home. Mikey's adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines, deworming, and microchip. We believe he is about four years old. He gets very excited at mealtime and happily “talks” to let you know — hurry, hurry, hurry, I want to eat, eat, eat! Mikey strongly prefers being indoors, likely because life was so hard for him outside as a youngster. Mikey would thrive in a home in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos area with a calm person or family who can lovingly tolerate his quirks as he continues learning how to be a continuously cherished dog. If you have a same-size or larger female dog, she may help him adjust more quickly by modeling confident, family-dog behavior. Mikey adores people and is eager to show his happiness and affection. He may be a bit too rambunctious for small children, but older kids would be a great fit — especially since he was raised by a teenager. If you think Mikey might be a good fit for your family, please email desertpawsnm@gmail.com to check availability and start the application process. We would love to introduce you to this wonderful boy and help him find the safe, loving home he so deeply deserves.
