Michaela

My story

(DOB 05/28/2019) Is heartworm positive, but don't let that stop you from adopting. Our rescue will pay for the treatment & will be adoptable within 1 hour of Wake Forest, NC during the treatment period. Meet the one and only Michaela, a lovable girl with a heart as big as her paws! Michaela is a true sweetheart, always eager to make new friends and shower them with love. She's the kind of dog who will melt your heart with a wag of her tail and a gentle nuzzle.  While she’s super friendly, Michaela has a little bit of extra enthusiasm when it comes to walks; she tends to pull toward people like she’s on a mission to greet every passerby. When she is not on a mission to meet a new best friend on her daily walks, she is stopping, sniffing, and taking her time to check out the world around her. When up close and personal, she’s all about snuggles, sweet kisses, to let you know just how much she cares. Michaela is an absolute attention lover! She’ll happily soak up all the pets, belly rubs, and snuggles you can give her. Her favorite place in the world is right by your side, where she can enjoy endless affection and give you all her love in return. Whether it's a gentle scratch behind the ears or a full-on belly rub session, Michaela is always ready to show you just how much she appreciates the attention! Michaela has done good meeting children when out and about/at adoption events and is happy to roll over for them to rub her belly. Michaela would really thrive with a secure fenced yard (she can be a door/gate dasher so make sure to always have those securely closed & locked for her) where she can run, play, and get all the exercise she deserves. Currently, she's been enjoying a more chill lifestyle, which means she's packed on a little extra fluff (but don’t worry—she’s still as beautiful and loving as ever)! So a home with a 4-5ft fence is what Michaela has her eye on! That being said, other than that she's pretty flexible as far as family dynamics; she could be an only dog or be in a home with doggie siblings. Michaela hasn't had much of an opportunity to meet cats at this time. When it comes to her food, treats, and toys, Michaela can be a bit of a "princess" and prefers to keep her favorite things all to herself. She’s a natural guardian of her prized possessions and isn’t eager to share, so it’s best to offer these items in separate spaces to keep things peaceful. Consider Michaela a bit of a "food, treat, and toy enthusiast"—she’s got a big personality when it comes to her favorites! Michaela is a road trip enthusiast! She’s always ready for an adventure and loves hitting the open road with her favorite humans. Whether it's a quick trip to the park or a weekend getaway, Michaela is all about exploring new places and soaking in the sights and smells along the way. With her love for travel, she’s the perfect co-pilot for any journey, eagerly hopping into the car with her tail wagging and a big smile on her face. Ready to take her along for the ride? She’s always up for the next adventure! If you’re looking for a gorgeous, affectionate, and slightly silly companion who’s ready to find her forever family, Michaela might be just the girl for you! As part of Michaela’s $300 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Michaela, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2220931##
