About Mike

Mike is a gentle, large senior dog, having spent most of his life outdoors. After being left behind when his owner moved to a care facility, he's learned to trust slowly but can be quite vocal when he feels comfortable. Initially, he was underweight and dealing with an ear infection, but thanks to the care he's receiving, he is gradually getting healthier. He's searching for a compassionate and patient adopter who can offer him security and love in a quiet indoor space, along with a fenced yard where he can enjoy the outdoors. While Mike is currently in foster care, he thrives best where he feels safe and can be sheltered from the elements. If you believe you can provide a loving home for Mike, please reach out to us. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
