About Mickie

Mickie is a sweet, four-year-old mixed-breed girl weighing around 35 pounds. She’s been making wonderful progress as she adjusts to her new environment. Having previously lived in a home with numerous dogs, Mickie is social and shows a thoughtful way of communicating her needs, particularly when she requires a bit of space. Her ideal home would include a similarly sized, dog-savvy companion; the Monadnock Humane Society can assist in determining compatibility with any current pets. When she first arrived, Mickie was quite fearful and it took her several days to feel comfortable. With patience and a gentle approach, she has made impressive strides. She's learned to accept being leashed and harnessed, and now welcomes affection, especially chin and neck scratches. Her confidence is growing beautifully. As she continues to settle in, Mickie's social nature is coming alive. She thrives on human company and shouldn’t spend too much time alone. Benefits like dog sitters, doggie daycare, or fun field trips can help her adjust. Mickie needs a patient and understanding home where she can keep building her confidence and experience the love she deserves. With time and trust, this lovely girl can become a wonderful companion.
