Mikey

My story

Mikey is an 8 year old, 80ish lb Labrador mix who is sadly looking for a new home as his devoted dad is very sick and his only worry is his best boy Mikey.  He says: "He is well loved, mild mannered and well-behaved and is just happy to be alive. I really wish for him to have a good home. He is a loving and loyal dog. He loves to be petted. He is even tempered. In fact, we have a little Maltese who tried to start a fight with Mikey, and he just stares at him and walks away. He doesn't growl or bark. He is a little awkward cause he has big feet and when he tried to jump, sometimes he trips over his own feet but that's his only flaw. He walks right by your side and comes to a call or whistle. He is not an alpha male. He is extremely afraid of storms, though. If he is outside, he really wants to come inside when it is storming. But he is happy to sit quietly if someone pets him and keeps him calm. We don't have children around, so I can only guess since he's good with everyone but we do not know. He is totally unaware of the dangers of cars and he should be kept in a fenced area. He has no concept of the dangers of the road. He was a rescue so we have no idea what his life was like before last year, but he is a lovable dog who is just happy to be alive. He is well loved and it breaks my heart to let him go but I just can't take care him and he needs a loving home". Mikey is in a foster home and they say "He LOVES to be loved and is a gentle giant! He gets along very well with our two other dogs and will play with them in very short spurts and loves to follow them around to see what they are up to. He is very laid back. I work from home most of the week and he will lay on his bed by my desk while I do. We think Mikey would do best in a home with no kids under the age of 10. He is totally house broken. He has free roam of the house 24/7 and has not made any messes. He goes to sleep as soon as the sun goes down and sleeps until it comes back up". As Mikey is a senior boy, he would do best in a home with very few or no steps at all as he has a hard time with them.  We are still learning more about Mikey, but if you would like to meet him, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org ##2130286##
