Story
Meet Mikey!
Nickname: Sally O'Malley "I'm proud to say I'm 50 years old. I'm not one of those gals who's afraid to hide her age unlike some of those other gals, and I like to kick, stretch, and kick. I'm 50, 50 years old"
Fun Fact: Mikey enjoys being outside for a little bit, But get your shovel ready, because his precious tootsies don't want to touch snow. YUCK.
Age: Golden Oldie. I may be an antique, but I am FABULOUS.
Weight: 13 lbs
Health issues: I can't see very well, and I can't hear very well. That's ok, my nose works fine, so I can find my dish, and I really didn't want to listen to you anyway. I'm a dog, not your unpaid therapist.
History: Mikey was in and out of shelters for years due to his previous owner's health issues. She surrendered him recently and he made his way to us to help him find his final chapter.
Foster home: Oregon, WI
Activity level: Low
Friendly with: Adults and respectful older children. I am curious about other dogs and cats, but am too busy snoozing to really do much socializing.
Sleep style: I love a fluffy dog bed and lots of blankies. I totally enjoy burrowing under them for naps.
Meals: Small batch freeze dried (rehydrated) and if you can spare any bacon treats, I am all about it!
Bark-o-meter: 2/10 (I bark a little bit as I settle down to sleep)
Shedding meter: 2/10
Fashion: I think I would like a Gatsby-esque suit and a fedora.
Walk out song: “Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys. Wouldn't it be nice to find a soft bed of my own?
Favorite season: Spring I think I would enjoy sniffing the world as everything turned green again.
Best feature: My calm demeanor. Nothing fazes me!
Signature Move: Leisurely strolls followed by relaxing time near my people — or calmly snoozing
Loves: Being with his person, blankies, bacon snacks, snoozing
Bucket list: Learning to use the internet and your credit card. He thinks Amazon would be a super idea! Did you know you can get blankies and bacon snacks there?
This sweet boy deserves the world for as much time as he has left. His previous owner said he was about 18 years old, but he acts younger. He has a cyst on his side that does not seem to be problematic, and will be left alone.
Neutered
Microchipped
Housebroken, but sometimes he forgets. It might be a new house thing too.
Good on leash, but he likes to meander and assumes you want to follow.
Does not need to be crated
UTD on vaccinations
UTD on preventatives
