Meet the delightful Mickey! 🎉 This special boy is on a heartfelt journey to find his forever home after experiencing the ups and downs of life. 🏡 Poor Mickey has had at least four homes—none of which were his forever! Can you believe it? He was first rescued from a community shelter during a canine flu outbreak in 2016—right when he needed saving the most! 💔 With broken toes, Mickey was just one step away from the euthanasia room, but luckily, he found a loving family who got him the care he desperately needed. Sadly, circumstances took a toll when his beloved mom passed away due to COVID, leading him to a brief stay with a family friend who cherished him. But fate had another twist, as that friend fell ill too. Now, Mickey seeks his true forever family—one that will give him the love and security he deserves. 💖 Mickey is a very gentle soul who radiates warmth and kindness. He loves everyone he meets and is as quiet as a mouse! 🐭 Imagine this: long, peaceful naps in between gentle walks around the yard, while also keeping a watchful eye for any tasty morsels that might fall his way! 🍖 His easygoing nature makes him a great companion for not just humans but also for the family cat—yes, napping together is definitely on the agenda! At an estimated 14 years young, Mickey comes packed with charm and character—and a history of overcoming challenges, like allergy issues and a past with IVDD. But don't worry, this handsome guy is fully vetted! He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $450. Remember, little dogs can live up to a whopping 25 years old! So, he wants to ensure he finds the right family for better or for worse! 🌈 Mickey is currently available for adoption in the local Chicago metro area, and home visits are required.
