About Magic Mike

Magic Mike arrived as a temporary stray and ended up staying for months before settling in as a Lucky Dog. He’s a large, athletic bully mix—tall, broad, and impressively healthy, estimated to be about 6 years old. Though he came with a service vest, it turns out the paperwork was fake, but this dog really could pass actual service tests with how smart and responsive he is. Mike knows all the basic commands and handles leash walks with precise verbal and hand cues. He’s polite, doesn’t jump up, waits patiently at doors, and even allows his nails to be trimmed without fuss. Mike bonds hard with his people and is social with other dogs if introduced properly. He’s excellent around cats, horses, and goats as long as he’s watched, and he’s always up for a game of fetch—he loves balls and squeaky toys above all else. Treats are accepted with impeccable manners, and he’s sensitive to correction without getting pushy. He isn’t house trained yet, but has a ton of basics down already. Magic Mike truly is the kind of dog that changes your home for the better. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
