About Mickey Rooney

Mickey Rooney is the sparkplug of his litter, always right in the middle of the action. He’s sweet, affectionate, and never misses a chance to check out what’s new. Whether he’s making his voice heard at mealtime or investigating every corner, Mickey brings energy wherever he goes. Raised with ten siblings and his resilient mom Lucille, who was cared for by the rescue until she was strong enough to take over feeding again, Mickey has grown into a bold, outgoing pup with plenty of love and curiosity. At just nine weeks, he already shows the telltale lab face, paired with short legs and a long body—a combo that's as charming as it is unique. He’ll probably reach 20 to 25 pounds fully grown. Mickey would thrive with a family ready to laugh at his antics and match his enthusiasm. He’s located in San Diego, CA, and born April 6, which makes him a quick-thinking Aries.
