About Mike

Meet Mike, a charming, water-loving goofball ready to steal your heart! With his striking big eyes and affectionate nature, this 3-year-old mixed breed dog has a personality that shines. Mike came to us in October 2024 from an overcrowded shelter in Edgecombe County. He thrives on consistency and might feel anxious about car rides and new environments, but with some patience, he'll adapt beautifully to a loving home. Mike prefers to be the only pet, making him ideal for an adult-only household. He adores playing with balls and toys, and you can always count on him to have a blast shredding them into tiny pieces. Beneath his playful antics lies a loyal companion eager for someone to love. Mike has been waiting for his forever home, so give this big-eyed, big-hearted love bug a chance to find his happily ever after! Click apply to start the adoption process.
