Weight: 50 lbs of pure charm
Age: Almost 3.5 years young (still a pup at heart!)
Breed: Mixed breed (with a sprinkle of superhero!)
Special Feature: Tripaw extraordinaire (he's basically a dog with a built-in superhero cape!)
**Background Story**
Miko entered the foster system in July 2022, and he's been on quite the journey ever since! Team Memphis Rescue & Support pulled Miko from a heartbreaking situation where he was an owner surrender in a cruelty case. He had been starved and injured after being hit by a car, with his front right leg broken and radial nerve damage that required amputation and months of rehabilitation.
Fast forward to June 2023-Miko found a kind family up north who adopted him. Unfortunately, after just a couple of weeks, it wasn't meant to be, and he was returned to our care. Since then, he has been in a loving foster home where he is thriving, and his current foster home is 100% committed to him. He deserves a forever family.
**Lady Lover**
Miko has developed a distinct preference for the ladies-he's not a fan of men, and he's made this abundantly clear! If you're a man, you might want to take notes: Miko will give you the cold shoulder faster than you can say "treat time. However, he has warmed up to his foster dad over time, showing that with patience and love, he can learn to trust. Despite this progress, it's still evident that he is uncomfortable due to his past trauma. So if you're in a female-only household, Miko might just consider you his new best friend. Just bring the snacks (though he's not particularly treat motivated), and you'll be golden!
**History with Kids**
Though he has been in a foster home without children currently, Miko previously lived with kids and loved their playful energy. He's great with other dogs, playful, and filled with love. He enjoys running around, taking naps, and soaking up all the affection he can get.
**Car Rides & Adventures**
Saying Miko loves car rides is an understatement-this boy sometimes doesn't want to get out! He'll give you those sad puppy eyes when it's time to leave the vehicle, as if to say, "Why would you ever want to leave this cozy adventure? Once he's inside, he's like the co-pilot of the year, ready to enjoy the ride with the wind in his fur! His foster family is helping him step out of his comfort zone, but they've learned that he prefers short walks-after all, he's got places to be and naps to take!
**Living His Best Life**
Being a tripaw hasn't slowed Miko down one bit! While he may be cautious during playtime, it's important to approach it with patience and positivity, helping him understand that fun is what it's all about. He's looking for a family that can appreciate his laid-back couch potato vibes while also getting him out for some outdoor fun. Whether you're binge-watching your favorite shows or enjoying outdoor activities, Miko is ready to be your loyal sidekick!
**Personality Traits**
Miko is a playful spirit who has enough energy to power a small city, though he knows how to balance that with his inner couch potato. He's independent and can entertain himself, especially when there are comfy spots to lounge in. When it comes to comfort, Miko has a knack for claiming the coziest spots in the house as his throne. He loves giving occasional kisses, which truly makes you feel special and ensures you know how much he cares. The only time he gets a bit slobbery is when he drinks a gallon of water after a walk! He will shower you with affection, ensuring that you feel loved every day. And let's not forget his intelligence-Miko is eager to learn new tricks, proving that he's not just a pretty face but a smart companion who's ready to impress!
**Bring Miko Home!**
We are determined to find Miko a forever home where he can thrive and be the happy, loving dog he was always meant to be!
If you're looking for a resilient, funny, and utterly charming companion who's ready to fill your life with joy and laughter, Miko is your guy! He's excited to find a family that appreciates his journey and is ready to create a lifetime of hilarious memories together-preferably in a female-only household. Don't let this tripaw superhero fly away-adopt Miko today!
