Mickey
Male · Adult · 5 years
Mickey – Rotherham, South Yorks 5 years old Male, chocolate dapple smooth tweenie (7kg) Not neutered Adoption fee £350 Mickey came into our care under the saddest of circumstances – he had been kept in hoarding conditions for his entire life and never experienced the world outside. He is now safe and putting on weight and it is time for him to find his forever home. Mickey needs a very special home, with a family who can see his potential, who can be calm and patient and who can move at his pace. He needs someone who understands that his undesirable behaviour comes from fear, not aggression or being a bad dog. He needs someone who can slowly open up his world so he can learn how to be a dog and trust people. At the moment, when he feels frightened or overwhelmed, he protects himself by growling and snapping – he is not being bad; he is simply terrified. Mickey has now been in kennels for two months and is slowly making progress. It has been a good stepping-stone into a normal life and we feel he is now ready to move. His new family will ideally be experienced with rescues, patient and willing to go right back to basics. He needs a quiet home where he will never be rushed or forced, and where his boundaries will be respected. You won’t be alone – all behavioural support will be provided by The Red Foundation.
