Meet Michael!
This little roly poly ball of fluff, stuff and goofiness came into the rescue just recently along with his sister Sonoma and another littermate. Sadly, someone had decided that they didn't want the puppies their large dog had had and decided to dump them off by a lake to fend for themselves. Fortunately, someone found them before anything terrible could happen and turned them into the rescue in the hopes that these little cuties could hopefully find families of their own that are much more loving then the one they were rejected from.
Currently 8 weeks old and 9 pounds, this little guy (who we suspect has quite a bit of Newfie in him )comes complete with a tongue built for kisses and a round little belly that just begs to be rubbed. He loves to run about with two of his foster sisters and enjoys licking the noses of any resident kitty that lets him come close enough. In fact, thus far he is so awesome around kitties that he doesn't even seem to mind sharing his meals with them all crowded around. So if you have a cat (or kitten) who you think would enjoy a loveable companion Mikey may just fit in perfectly.
This little guy is rapidly learning many things in his foster home: already he walks very well on a loose leash and wants nothing more then to romp and try to keep up with the kids in his foster home while out on walks. Never-the-less he is also quickly learning that the way to continue on with the walk is to keep the leash loose. Mikey is also doing very well on the housebreaking front and will whine to get your attention when he needs to go out. Once outside, he is not too distractable and usually does his business fairly quickly. He is also kept very busy mastering tough challenges like sitting to wait for his meals, going up and down steps and walking through big piles of leaves.
One thing Mikey is really going need a kind and understanding family to help him with, however, is with building up his self esteem and confidence level. Keeping in mind that at the tender age of 8 weeks old he has already changed hands 5 times it is perfectly understandable that he desperately needs and seeks the connection, love and consistency that only a warm family and tender caregiver can provide. His ideal family will be excited to help him learn over time that he can trust in their love and commitment and that he will never again be left behind to fend for himself.
As such, Mikey would also do very well in a family that has other friendly dogs that he can learn from, connect to and play with (especially if he is to be left during the day for several hours). In his foster family, he regularly shares the bathroom behind a baby gate with a friendly pug and we believe that already this has gone a long way towards helping feel safe and secure while the family is out. When crated or 'bathroomed' by himself, however, he will shriek and howl constantly, often becoming frantic and it takes him a very long time to settle in even when there are enticing bones and other toys present.
That being said, at night (when placed in his large crate) Michael sleeps very well by himself in his foster parent's bedroom (needing to go out only once during the night to go potty).
In short, this sweet guy is really just a bouncing bundle of puppy love, (not too forward but no wall flower either) just waiting for the right home to call his own.
Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed. The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label. Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first.
