Mikey will absolutely melt your heart. This precious baby has had such a hard start to life and deserves everything good this world has to offer from this moment forward. Mikey was found all alone in the woods, covered in ticks and malnourished. When we found him at animal control, he was in the corner of his kennel with his face pressed against the wall. Despite being so frightened and confused, he melted when we touched him and clung to us when we picked him up. He watched as the other dogs play and slowly started to wag his tail, trying to figure out how he could join in the fun. While Mikey will need extra time and lovin' to help build his confidence, we have no doubt that he will blossom into the most loving, happy pup who will be an exceptional BFF. He's such a special dog who deserves the absolute best life.
