About Mickey

Meet Mickey! Mickey is a 2-year-old Black Lab/Shepherd mix who radiates charm and warmth. This remarkable boy has turned his challenging past into a story of resilience. Rescued from a distressing hoarding situation in Ferris, Texas, where over 25 dogs were found alongside a former meth lab, Mickey faced an unimaginable start but has transformed into a loving companion. He’s wonderful with kids, house trained, and crate trained, making him an ideal addition for a family. Mickey prefers to be your one-and-only dog, and he thrives on companionship. He is eager to go on walks and equally enjoys cozy snuggle sessions at home. At this stage in his life, he’s matured beyond the rambunctious puppy days yet remains young enough to embark on new adventures. Mickey is full of love and ready for a stable home where he can feel cherished and secure. Sadly, black dogs are often overlooked in shelters, but we believe Mickey deserves to shine. His past isn't who he is—it's his gentle spirit that truly matters. If you're in search of a faithful walking partner and an exceptional dog, Mickey is excited to meet you! What are you waiting for?
