Mikey formerly Mike Tyson is a 3 1/2 yr old doberman/lab/boxer mix. He arrived here as one of a little of 4 puppies in the spring of 2021. They all had human boxer names. He was yadopted 3 years ago and when his family’s circumstances changed, rather than contact the rescue for assistance in rehoming him, his family gave him away to a coworker about 1 1/2 ago. Rover Rescue only learned of this because he was found by animal control and we were notified. He is skin and bones and has hair loss due to fleas and possibly mange. Animal Control was going to put him down because he was so scared and growling. I am so thankful that we were called!!
Mikey is now back in foster care and doing great. He is being treated for his skin rash and he is loving all his furry friends. He is very sweet and was only growling because he was so terrified. It would’ve been a tragedy to lose him. This is the second time this poor fella found himself needing his life to be saved. He is looking for a FOREVER home. One where he can live the good life and not a hint of worry about where his next meal is coming from or if he has a tomorrow!
Update: His coat has filled back in to a beautiful black and brindle. He is 100% house trained, crate trained, and sniffed the kitties at the vet without issue. He is also bilingual. He understands some English and Spanish commands. He is great with other dogs and children. He is still a little afraid of intimidating adults, usually men, but does warm up to love them. He is altered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. If you would like to meet this dog, please call or text Lorri, at 630-659-8814. Text is preferred. The adoption fee is $225.
