MIKE - Great Dane and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in St. Louis, Missouri

Meet Mike! This handsome eight-month-old pup has long legs, a big smile and plenty of growing left to do. As a Great Dane mix, Mike is already 42 pounds—and chances are there will be a whole lot more Mike to love as he grows up! Still very much a puppy, Mike is at a wonderful age for a family ready to help him learn, explore and become the great dog he's meant to be. Walks, playtime, training and new adventures are all waiting for him, along with the most important thing of all: a family of his own. Mike has been waiting at the Humane Society of Missouri's St. Louis City shelter since July 15. He's ready to stretch those long legs somewhere other than the shelter and start making memories with his new people. Come meet Mike. Your next best friend might just be a big one.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
