About Mickey - 6 Year Old Mini Fox Terrier
🐾 Meet Mickey – the little guy with the biggest heart (and the cutest smile!) 🩵
Some dogs have a way of quietly finding their place in your heart... and Mickey is one of them.
This gorgeous little Mini Foxie is estimated to be around 5–7 years old and is as sweet as they come. While he can be a little shy, especially indoors or when he's somewhere new, give him a little patience, plenty of praise, and lots of love, and you'll soon see his beautiful personality shine through. Once Mickey trusts you, he'll happily snuggle up beside you on the lounge and simply enjoy being close to his favourite people.
One of the loveliest things about Mickey is that he's such a happy little boy. His tail is almost always wagging, especially when he's with the people he loves. It's impossible not to smile when you see his cheerful little tail going—it perfectly matches his gentle, affectionate nature.
Mickey is the perfect mix of relaxed and playful. He loves running around the backyard, but he's just as content spending a quiet afternoon curled up on the lounge. He's even starting to discover how much fun toys can be, and watching him learn and grow is incredibly rewarding.
🐾Training
Like any dog settling into a new home, Mickey is still learning. He's recently become house trained, so he may need a few gentle reminders while he adjusts to a new routine. He's crate trained, learning his basic commands, and becoming more confident walking on lead every day.
🏡 Mickey's perfect home?
A calm, loving home with patient people who will let him settle in at his own pace. A secure backyard where he can stretch his legs, sniff around, and enjoy the sunshine would make him one very happy little boy.
Mickey can be adopted with his Mini Fox Terrier best friend, Minnie, if you're looking to welcome a gorgeous duo into your family. But he'll also happily thrive in a home of his own, where he can soak up all the love and attention.
💕 Could Mickey be the missing piece of your family?
If you've been searching for a loyal little companion who will reward your kindness with endless love, Mickey is ready to meet you.
