Mikey

ADOPTION RECOMMENDATIONS:

Mikey is a playful young boy looking for an active family who have quality time to spend with him. 

Mikey can be a little unsure at times, especially in new places and when meeting new people. He warms up quickly and is easily won over with some yummy treats. 

Taking things slowly by allowing him time to settle into the home and bond with his people first before taking him out will set him up for success. 

He is very smart and eager to please. Knows his sit and will thrive with continued training. In no time he will know all the tricks there is to learn. 

Has a history of jumping 6ft fencing in previous home. Will need an owner home more often than not to be able to monitor outside. Must have secure, solid fencing- 6ft. 

Showed some interest in toys and he will likely play more once settled. 

Loves his enrichment, using both the licky mat and snuffle mats during his assessment. Highly recommend feeding his meals from enrichment to provide mental stimulation. Some other ideas include milk bottles, egg cartons, snuffle boxes, food puzzles, kongs and wobblers.

Recommend older children, can be unsure at times and then becomes silly and jumpy also. Must meet.

Meet other dogs at time of adoption. Met another male dog and was social and playful. Is quite social and lived with other male dog previously but can easily become vocal and reactive so would do best with a quick meet. Would benefit from going home with a calm and social doggie friend to help with his confidence and someone he can follow and learn from.
