My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MIKEL - Retriever Mix / 7 months / 10kg / M-Neutered

Cute fluffy ears? Check. An incredibly sweet personality? Check. A very smart boy? Check. Mikel may seem like a total package, but the only thing he is missing is his forever family! Could that be you?

Mikel has formed a sweet bond with his foster family and is enjoying learning how to dog from them. He is currently fostered with a dog, some cats, and some children and enjoys them all. Mikel has formed a special bond with his human foster sister and specifically goes to her for extra cuddles and attention. In his free time, Mikel enjoys playing with his toys (balls and chew bones) and manages his energy level well. He checks in with his foster family and the resident dog to gauge whether it is play time or chill time.

Since arriving in his foster home, Mikel has been enjoying learning new skills. So far, he knows sit, down, ‘with me’ (walking in a heel inside). Now he is learning to enter his crate on command, we know he will learn it quickly! Mikel is still getting used to walking on a leash but is getting better one step at a time. Mikel is housetrained and can co-exist with cats happily. He also sleeps in his crate overnight.

Mikel would love for his future family to continue with his incredible learning streak. He would also like people home most of the time. Mikel also requires a full-time dog pal in the home that will be a good mentor to him and help navigate life. A secure yard for him to play in is also a must.

If you think you are Mikel’s future family, please check out the adoption process and application at www.dibsrescue.com. His adoption fee is $870. If you are a family with kids, please check out our resources on kids and dogs before you apply (https://dibsrescue.com/kids-dogs/).
