Mickey is still getting the hang of the world, and it can seem big to him at first. When you meet him, you’ll notice right away: he starts out shy, a little guarded, but that doesn’t last. Once Mickey feels safe, he’s all in—seeking affection, wanting attention, and eager to be near you. He’s people-oriented to his core and gets attached to his own circle. There’s a playful streak in him if you let him run around, especially in a fenced yard. He’s been figuring out toys, and while walks are a work in progress, he’s trying hard. Mickey just needs patience and a steady routine to show him he’s secure. Some chaos and puppy energy come bundled with him, but give it a moment and he’ll settle and ask for cuddles. Mickey does best with thoughtful management, especially around food if sharing space with another dog. He is good with dogs and children but should not be in a cat household. Potty and crate training are both ongoing, and he isn’t ready for long solo days yet. What he really needs is someone who’ll take the time to help him build confidence at his own pace—and in return, you’ll get a companion with unwavering loyalty. Ready to meet your new best friend?
