Mikie is a 5 1/2 year-old Tibetan/Spaniel mix who’s been in the shelter system for over five months now. He originally came in as a stray so what is known about his history is limited but we’ve gotten to know him pretty well and have found a lot of love and laughs in this boy. Mikie has an adorable playful streak and loves to throw his toys around, run from one room to another and find piles of blankets to roll around in. He’s got a lot more energy and spunk than his age might suggest so he needs to find a home where walking and playing is done frequently.
Mikie is a very alert and curious guy who likes to be a part of things. He’s great with people, including children and enjoys being pet and loved on. He does well with female dogs but can be a little picky about his male dog friends. We can see him learning to live with a cat but he currently thinks they are fun to chase.
At about 15 pounds, Mikie is a solid little guy. Still small enough to be easily taken along wherever you want to go but not quite a “carry around” type of guy. He’s got a little fluff to him and seems to have an undercoat as well that will require routine brushing.
Come and meet Mikie and consider giving him a chance to leave shelter life behind!
