Mikelli is simply amazing. Goofy, loving, playful, stubborn, dopey, snuggly - he has it all! He certainly has a special spot in our hearts and we cannot wait to see him thrive in his forever home. He is so full of love and quirks, he is just the best kid on the block.
He is super dog social and loves loves loves other dogs, of all sizes. He believes everyone is a potential new playmate and adores any attention he receives from them, but he can't tell the difference between "Let's play!" and "Back off". Mikelli is a paw player, as in, he likes to boop everyone with his paws and he has an in your face type personality, so his new friends must be able to manage that. He is definitely happiest when in the company of other dogs, so a resident playmate is preferred, alternatively he would be ok with regular playdates. He can play all day and loves to do zoomies and run like the wind with his doggy friends (see videos).
He loves playing with the cats in the same manner so any resident cats need to be dog savvy and have their safe space away from him. He cherishes curling up with them when it is snoozetime.
Mikelli has seen a lot of vets since his arrival into care, which has made him a bit nervous when meeting new people - he may be wary and hold back until he gets to know you. Once he has established you are lovely, he will come for snuggles and pats. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body, he can just be a bit hesitant, but doesn't take long to warm up (especially if there are treats on offer!)
This gorgeous young man is an absolute delight and just full of happiness, he doesn't let anything stop him from exuding joy.
His ideal family are active, inclusive, dalmatian savvy and patient, who are hopefully willing to share their bed as Mikelli does like to be your heatpack. Please read his medical notes before applying - but nothing is stopping him from living his best life to the fullest.

Medical notes
These things are very easily managed but need to mentioned:
Diet - Mikelli requires a specific diet as he does seem to have intolerances to many proteins and being a dalmatian requires foods with low purine. His diet works out a lot cheaper than kibble!
Skin - Mikelli does get itchy (unknown cause) and will require management of this.
Legs - Mikelli has osteoarthritis in one leg, which means he will need to be on joint supplements to help maintain it. He will likely always pull up sore after exercising. He doesn't let it stop him from living his best life. He will always need to maintain a healthy weight.
