About Mickey

Mickey is about a year old and weighs in at 40 pounds. With his eye-catching black spots and a friendly grin, he stands out everywhere he goes. Mickey's likely a Dalmatian and Staffie mix—equal parts sweet, handsome, and eager for companionship. Before rescue, he wandered alone until a kind person brought him in. Now, he’s embracing the easy things in life: meals every day, a warm place to sleep, and people to count on. Dog-friendly and happy to relax on the couch, Mickey enjoys downtime but also lights up during play—chasing toys is high on his list. His best friend at the rescue is Minnie, and the two shared the same bumpy start. Mickey takes walks seriously, loving to explore. On leash, he’s steady and content, and he’s calm in the car. Both house and crate trained, he fits well into routine and structure. Mickey is healthy, neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccines. He’s looking for a home that values his laid-back but adventurous style. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
