Mickey

My story

Hello! Please meet Mickey, he has an incredible story! Our organization has been rescuing and rehabilitating street dogs in Ukraine since 2018, 4 years before the full-scale invasion. Now since the war started we rescue a lot of animal victims of the war. Mickey is from Bakhmut (a Ukrainian city that was almost destroyed.) Mickey was found by Ukrainian soldiers in the rubble of the apartment building where he lived. He was orphaned and huddled underneath a stove. A soldier contacted our shelter in Kyiv, and Mickey was sent out of the war zone and eventually made his way to Pacifica, CA! Mickey is a playful, gentle, incredibly good-natured dog. Mickey sleeps in the bed with a 5 year old girl in his foster family. Mickey can get very rambuctious and has a unique habit of jumping very high in the air when he is excited. For this reason, we think Mickey would be best in a home with children over the age of 5. Mickey is toilet trained and leash trained. He is neutered and is current on all of his vaccinations. Per CDC requirements, Mickey was quarantined for 10 days upon his arrival to the USA and during that time received a Rabies vaccination in the USA. He also tested negative for heartworm in the USA. The veterinarian in Ukraine determined that Mickey was 6 years old from his teeth, but that can be incorrect. We suspect that he is younger because he still has a lot of energy. He also can chew sometimes, but has not chewed a personal item in a long time since we trained him to chew digestible bones. He gets along well with people, is affectionate and gentle with children, although he can get very excited and play too hard for small children. Friendly with other dogs. Mickey can easily be the second or even third dog because he is non-conflict and ready to give in. He does not strive to lead. He tried to chase the cats at our shelter and is not recommended for cats. Mickey currently lives in a family home in Pacifica with 5 year old and 6 year old children and 2 other dogs. Please contact us if you want to make Mickey part of your family!
