Mick is a young Shar Pei mix with plenty of personality for just 9 months old. He arrived from West Virginia after suffering a broken hip, underwent surgery, and bounced back remarkably well. Now neutered and microchipped, he enjoys life in his foster home with both a canine brother and sister. Mick flourishes with slow introductions to new animals, and once comfortable, he loves to play with his foster brother—though his older foster sister isn't as interested in games, Mick still tries to win her over. Crates aren’t his thing; at night, he relaxes quietly in his own safe spot and is a calm, quiet sleeper. When he needs a break, he’ll curl up in his bed for a snuggle. He’s known for his wiggly butt and joyful dance when he greets his foster mom, showing the affection and goofiness that make him endearing. Mick took his time to warm up to his foster dad, which highlights his need for patient adopters who understand that trust comes at his pace. Still working on his housetraining—he’s making progress—he offers a typical blend of puppy energy and the ability to wind down. Mick’s ideal family is patient and active, with a playful dog sibling for companionship, though he could adjust to being the only dog if needed. He’s best suited to homes with older kids or adults since he can be nervous meeting new people; slow introductions help him settle in. Mick does well on a leash, loves walks, and would benefit from a fenced yard to run, though it isn't a strict requirement. Give him time, a friendly routine, and a little patience, and he’ll be a loyal addition to the family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
