Mickey - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Memphis, Tennessee

4/11/26: I took Mickey out today for playtime and photos. He is such a great dog! He walks like a pro on a leash, mostly loose leash and by my side. He immediately went to the bathroom (for a while) and seems to be housetrained.

He play bowed at me and liked chasing tennsi balls but didn't really want to "fetch" the ball back for me. He would jump and occasionally get mouthy, but was gentle for the most part. I think he has puppy energy still, and also LOVED affection. He's all about the pets and kisses. He has a really goofy personality but is a good listener.

He was very interested in a dog/dog meeting across the yard and would run back and forth by the fence line to play with them. He had a wagging tail and greeted all the people he passed. I think he would do wonderfully in a home with other dogs and seems to be medium energy. He also strikes me as intelligent and could probably do well with training or agility sports. GREAT DOG!

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.
