Mikey

Looking for foster care

Darling little Mikey is searching for a very special foster home with the hope of nursing him back to health.

He has had quite a rough start to life – and came to us with injuries and symptoms that suggest he was hit by a car/ experienced a major trauma. He has impaired vision and signs of potential neurological damage. At this stage he is stable, has no other signs of physical injuries and is on meloxicam (daily anti-inflammatory medication) so he is not in pain – but he needs a soft place to land to continue to heal outside of the shelter environment.

He is a very sweet little boy, but sudden movements and overzealous interactions from people/other animals cause him a lot of stress due to his impaired vision. He requires a soft approach and will need a carer who understands dog body language so that he does not feel overwhelmed or crosses his boundaries.

His foster carer will need to live within a reasonable distance from our shelter in Keysborough so that he can travel to and from vet appointments as necessary.

He would love a foster home with adults only who could be home more often than not to keep watch over him and provide him with all the love and TLC he deserves!

He could potentially share his foster home with another chilled out, relaxed and independent (ideally senior-aged) dog or cat who will not overwhelm Mikey.
