Michi is a deep-red beauty whose refined look and curled tail draw instant smiles. She’s about 1.5 years old, nearing two, and sits around the 35-pound mark—striking that balance between compact and sturdy. Her appearance may remind you of a Basenji, but it’s her soulful, bashful nature that sets her apart. Michi is shy and can be slow to trust, taking her time to warm up to new people and situations. If you’re patient and willing to give her that breathing room, she rewards your commitment with devotion and steady affection, forming an unusually close bond once she feels safe. Despite her gentle aura, Michi carries a strong, athletic energy. She thrives with both physical activity and mental engagement, so she’ll appreciate structured walks, smart games, or enrichment routines. A confident, friendly dog companion would bring out her playful side and help her blossom—she truly comes alive around a dog who can mentor her and join in on fun. Michi gets along well with other dogs and is looking for a home that values her dual spirit: reserved at first, loving and loyal in time. If you’re seeking a sweet, sensitive, yet lively companion with a memorable personality (and that perfect curly tail), Michi is waiting in Prescott, AZ for the person who will let her shine on her own timeline.
