About Mouse

Meet Mouse: 9 weeks old and an expert in both high-speed chaos and professional-level cuddling. This little guy functions on two energy modes: he’s either zooming around like a fire alarm or fast asleep in seconds. Living with a big foster brother named Bruce, Mouse expresses his affection through playful antics, like lightly nibbling on Bruce’s jowls and then dashing under the couch for fun. His nightly routine includes peaceful slumber, and he can chill in a crate for over two hours. Mouse has a big personality and an adventurous streak—he isn’t fazed by rain at all. Food-wise, he’s a connoisseur, enjoying kibble, peanut butter, and the occasional fancy raspberry. He’s even curious about non-food items like sticks and painters tape. He adores kids, too, currently living alongside a 5-year-old and a 9-year-old, often showing his affection by playfully nibbling their ears and noses. Mouse is still mastering potty training but is making good progress, going outside every 1-2 hours. If you need a tiny, playful companion who loves to cuddle, fill out an application for Mouse. The snuggles are worth the occasional carpet mishap. Adoption fee includes full veterinary care and vaccines. Mouse is waiting in Brooklyn Center, MN, for his forever home.
