Neutered Male | 10 Years Old | Yorkie / Chihuahua | Dog Friendly
Meet our adorable little guy named Mickey!
We are guessing Mickey is around 10 years old, and he came to our shelter after he was found as a stray in town. When Mickey first came to our shelter, he had very long, straight, dirty hair that needed to be cleaned up. He was shaved down during his neuter and he was feeling like a new dog!
Mickey is a friendly little fellow who really likes attention. He has good energy for a small guy and he likes to be with people. Mickey gets along with other dogs and he is non reactive towards cats.
Sometimes, Mickey can get a little ornery when being moved around, so we think it would be best for him to go to a home with children 12 years old or older. He is a very happy little guy who deserves a loving home. His fur seems to grow back slowly, but eventually Mickey will need regular professional grooming.
This is important to know about Mickey: When Mickey was neutered, we noticed he had a bulge on his back end. An ultrasound showed that he had a Perineal Hernia that required surgery to fix. Mickey did very well with his surgery and he has been cleared for adoption!
We still like to add a little Miralax into Mickey's food to keep his feces a little softer and easy to pass. He is perfectly fine eating dry food mixed with a little water. Mickey also received a dental while in our care, so he had many teeth removed. We have not seen any complications since Mickey's surgery.
We do recommend that he has a set up steps to get up and down off of couches or beds. He will try to jump off and land very hard, smacking his face on the ground.
