About Michael

Meet Michael! This sweet boy is around 2-3 years old and weighs 15 lbs. He came to us from a neglect case and was shaved on intake due to a heavily matted coat. Michael is great with other dogs and thrives on companionship. He is easygoing but will need an adopter willing to work on training and socialization, as he is still in the process of crate and house training. Keep in mind he hasn’t been exposed to children yet. Michael’s adoption fee is $550, which covers his neutering and vaccinations that are up to date. If you're looking for a loving companion who needs a little extra care, Michael is waiting for you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
