About Mike

Meet Mike, a charming 5-year-old Blue Lacy mix weighing around 33 lbs. This handsome fellow has a lean, athletic build and a heart of gold. He was rescued from a "kill" shelter in Port Lavaca, Texas, where he faced tough conditions, but thanks to 4 Little Paws Rescue, he's now living his best life. Mike has overcome challenges like skin conditions and is now neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Though he's a bit shy with new people, Mike warms up quickly and is fantastic with kids. He enjoys being active without being overzealous, often accompanying his foster mom on walks—two miles a few times a week! This cuddle bug loves to play with squeaky toys and explore outside. He’s also on track with house training and communicates his needs well. Mike thrives in companionship, making a work-from-home or retired family a perfect match for him. Make his dreams of a forever home come true by inquiring about him today!
