About Michaelangelo aka Mike
This is Michaelangelo or Mike to his mates is now looking for that special person to call his human.
He has come such a long way since coming into care as this scared little dog who wouldn’t even come to humans for treats.
Mike had discovered tennis balls and loves them! He will pounce on them, pick them up and throw them at his foster human. He’s also found that tug-o-war is fun too and willing to battle it out with you.
He has gained confidence when with another dog, he loves running around with them and play fighting. He has even learned that belly rubs aren’t too bad either.
Mike is learning the basics currently and being the smart fella we know he is we are sure with the right human he will thrive. Having another dog around will benefit Mike greatly, having a confident dog to show him the ropes and he his mate.
He is still getting used to loud noises and can be a little jumpy at times still. He’s not mer many strangers but with a confident handler we know he will take everything in his stride knowing you have his back .
His foster mum says he’s a big softy at heart once he settles in and just needs someone to give him the time and patience’s he not only needs but deserves.
If you have what Mike needs and deserves please give him a chance. Fill in an application and the successful person will get the chance to meet him.
