About Mike

Meet Mike! Mike is a 9-year-old Yorkshire Terrier with a heart full of love and a few unique quirks. This charming little guy is one-eyed and deaf, but that hasn’t stopped him from living life to the fullest. He’s affectionate and enjoys being around canine companions, although he may bark at newcomers until he’s convinced they belong to his pack. Mike is currently crate trained and is making progress with his potty training. He has a minor patella issue in one of his back legs that causes a bit of a limp, but it doesn’t seem to bother him. He does have a humorous habit of humping household items like stuffies and pillows, so his future family will need to show patience while he learns to modify this behavior. Despite his quirks, Mike remains a happy and sweet boy eager to find a loving home where he can relax and enjoy his golden years. If you're looking for a Yorkie with personality and a big heart, Mike may be the perfect companion for you! Mike is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations and heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is sponsored; apply to adopt him today!
