Story
Mickey is the sweetest dog you can find. He is 13 years old and he is definitely a people person. He is a cuddle bug and likes to sleep most of the day. He always likes to be around someone, does not like to be left at home for long periods of time. He is healthy. I would like to find him a new home that will be able to give him the love and attention he deserves.
