🌟 Allow me to introduce Mickey, the adorable miniature pinscher x chihuahua mix, who’s on the hunt for his forever home. This little guy has had a whirlwind of a life; he found himself at the shelter when his previous family could no longer care for him. But don’t worry, because Mickey is absolutely ready to wrap his paws around new adventures with a loving family! 🌈 Mickey is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys their company, making him the perfect doggie socialite. 🐶 If you happen upon him during a walk, you’ll see him gleefully greeting his furry friends! He’s even had a little experience interacting with an outdoor cat and coexists like a champ. Mickey has a heart of gold and does splendidly with kids aged five and older, enjoying their company and the love they shower on him. 🎉 Now, like all diamonds in the rough, Mickey has a tiny bit of baggage. He’s been a wee bit nervous in this new environment, but fear not! With a little patience and the comfort of a loving home, Mickey is expected to relax and thrive! 🌼 He's still perfecting his house training since he primarily lived outdoors. But don’t fret; the wonderful client services staff is ready to share tips to help Mickey settle into his new routine smoothly! 🚽 And here’s some chocolate-coated news: from now until February 15th, adoption fees are slashed to only $33! What a steal for all the love Mickey has to offer! Plus, the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation gives all new furry family members some “Pawsitivity Bucks” – a fabulous $200 training voucher! This means Mickey’s new guardians will have access to professional trainers who use positive reinforcement, setting the stage for a wonderful relationship. ❤️ Just a gentle reminder: while Mickey is looking for love everywhere, he can only be adopted after a meet and greet. You must come in person to the shelter during open hours (which are 11 AM to 6 PM, 7 days a week), but make sure you arrive by 4 PM for quality time and personal introductions. So, what are you waiting for? If Mickey has captured your heart (and how could he not?), apply to adopt this little charmer through the Buddy App today! Your new best friend is just a paw away! 🐾❤️
