Mikey

Hi everyone - Mikey here! Somehow at 2 years old, I find myself with Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. I'm not really sure how I got here, but they keep telling me that I'm going to find my forever home really soon and that makes me really excited! I'm especially excited about having a human companion that can hike or run or play with me, and then maybe enjoy some cuddles in front of the TV afterward! I love to play with toys and I recently discovered the game that my friends call "chase your tail" and it's so fun because I start going in multiple circles and sometimes I come really close to catching my tail! I do have a lot of energy so my forever person is going to have to be willing to go on adventures with me, but I'm always down for some netflix and chill when my energy has been expended! I'm told I'm a Great Pyrenees/Lab mix but honestly I'm 100% adorable and that is all that matters! I am both dog and cat friendly but cats should be dog-savvy due to my energy and I am pretty dog friendly but I do sometimes get jealous if the humans are showing others more attention than me! My ideal home would be one with a fenced yard and an active adopter who will take me on adventures and spoil me in toys and attention! If this sounds like you, please slide into my dms at [email protected] and fill out the application here https://bigfluffydogs.com/adopt/adoption-application/ so we can become best buddies as soon as possible! ___________________________________________________________________________________ Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM PETFINDER: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
