About This Dog for Adoption

Mikey's ideal home

Mikey is a gentle, sensitive young dog who’s ready to start a brand-new chapter in life with a kind and patient family. While two years old, he has had limited life-experience and is still learning about the world, so will need adopters who can introduce him to new experiences gradually, helping him build confidence one small success at a time. He’ll thrive in a calm, steady home with secondary-school-aged children or older, and he would feel most comfortable having at least one female family member, as he can be a little unsure around men. A quiet home environment with a secure garden would be ideal for him, giving him the space to find his rhythm and settle into a toileting routine. Mikey will need to be the only pet in the home and would like to enjoy peaceful walks where he won’t be overwhelmed by off-lead dogs. Short, gentle strolls suit him best, especially as he manages some stiffness in his joints with ongoing medication.

Could you be Mikey's perfect match?

Underneath his shy exterior, Mikey is a deeply affectionate boy with a heart full of love to give. Once he feels safe, he absolutely adores curling up beside you on the sofa, leaning in for cuddles and soaking up every bit of attention. He’s a calm chap who enjoys quiet moments with his favourite people and is happiest when life moves at a gentle pace. Mikey isn’t fussed about toys just yet, but as his confidence grows, his playful side may shine through. He loves to potter about and explore new places, especially when there are interesting smells to investigate. Meal times are important to him, and he prefers to eat in peace without interruption—something easily managed with a quiet dining spot of his own. With understanding owners who can give him time and reassurance, Mikey will blossom into a wonderful, loyal companion.
