Mickey is a lively youngster bursting with energy and a sense of adventure. Around a year old and weighing about 45 lbs, he looks like a classic cattle dog/heeler mix with a short, chocolate and white coat. Mickey’s personality shines brightest when he’s out exploring—he loves long walks, trips to the park, and discovering new sights. In the truck, he’s still working on proper manners (a good routine and shorter tie help), but he’s always eager to join in on fun. He’s easy to distract, still a bit of a puppy, and finds herding and leg-nipping games with other playful dogs irresistible. He’s been polite with dogs he’s met and enjoys a wrestling, energetic play style. Meeting new people excites him, though he’s beginning to pick up on the "off" command to keep his paws grounded. Mickey needs an active home committed to daily exercise, continued obedience training, and ideally a playmate to match his zest. He’s not a fit for homes with cats, but his affectionate, gentle nature and love of attention will win over anyone seeking a true adventure buddy. He did fine in a crate, although he wasn’t a big fan. Mickey is eager for structure, loves being petted, and has all the makings of a perfect best friend for someone ready to keep up with him.
