Rescued from a hoarding situation with little human interaction, he was once fearful and withdrawn. But over the past 8 months, with consistent love, gentle care, and support like Bach flower therapy, Mike has slowly come into his own. Now, he’s playful, curious, and joyful—especially around other dogs. He adores belly rubs, loves to zoom around with his canine pals, and offers kisses freely to those he trusts. Mike doesn’t like being picked up (and that’s okay!), but he’ll gladly curl up near you and show his affection in his own sweet way. His bond is deep, his trust hard-earned, and his love—undeniably real. Mike’s Ideal Home:Mike would do best in a calm, adult-only home with another friendly, balanced dog to help him feel secure. He’s not suited for a noisy or high-energy environment, and he’s looking for someone who understands that his version of affection might look a little different—but is just as meaningful. His ideal family is one that sees the beauty in progress, the strength in sensitivity, and the joy in a pup who has overcome so much to be here today. If you’re ready to open your heart to a pup with a brave spirit and the sweetest soul, Mike is ready to meet you. Mike’s Rescue Story – From Silence to JoyMike was one of 23 dogs rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation. His former caretaker had fallen into addiction and depression, and over time, the dogs under his roof suffered from severe neglect—both physically and emotionally. When his health collapsed, the man’s family intervened and reached out for help. That’s when Mike’s new life began. Mike arrived terrified, shut down, and underweight—lacking the tools to trust. But love works wonders. With the help of a patient foster, other dog companions, and therapeutic support, Mike slowly opened up. He learned the joy of play. The comfort of routine. And the safety of love. Mike Is ReadyMike is no longer the scared little dog he once was. He’s blossomed into a happy, affectionate pup with a gentle soul and a playful spirit. All he needs now is a family who will love him exactly as he is—and continue to help him grow. From fear To joy To a forever home Will you be the one to give Mike the life he’s waited for? Mike is waiting in Mexico for a committed trial family Apply now: www.northwestwagrescue.org Adoption Fee: $600 ##2437510##
