About Mikey

Meet Mikey! This spirited 14 lb. Schnauzer mix brings boundless energy and puppy-like joy to every moment. Although he’s said to be 5 years old, we believe he has the enthusiasm of a younger dog. Mikey loves to explore, romp around with his toys, and chase after squeaky balls. He’s especially fond of stuffies, often engaging in playful destruction with them. Mikey thrives on companionship. He shares a special bond with kids, especially his 9-year-old foster brother, and is well-suited for older, respectful children ready to join his adventures. He also gets along well with other dogs, though he’s still learning boundaries in playtime. Intelligent and eager to please, Mikey excels at using the doggy door and is making progress in his potty training, although he may still need a little guidance. When he’s not busy being playful, Mikey enjoys cozy movie nights on the couch; a true cuddle bug at heart. He’s a calm companion during baths and has a healthy appetite, with a particular fondness for homemade meals. Mikey is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, eagerly waiting for a loving family that can provide him with patience, guidance, and, most importantly, love.
