About Mitch
Introducing Mitch, a shy and timid gentleman who is slowly coming out of his shell and revealing his tender heart. Mitch is a sweet-natured soul who prefers a calm and quiet lifestyle. He may be a little reserved initially, but once he gets to know you, he's all loyalty and affection.
Though shy at first, Mitch is great with other dogs and seems to find confidence and joy in canine companionship. He would love to share his new home with a furry friend, which will help him settle in and learn how to trust. His gentle nature makes him an excellent comrade for canine friends, offering them a calm and comforting presence.
What Mitch is seeking more than anything else is a patient, quiet, and loving family. A family that will take the time to understand his silent communication and offer him empathy, space, and plenty of love. He would truly thrive in a quiet environment with a loving family that will gently guide him out of his shell at his own pace, without imposing too many demands on him.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
