I - I'M MIKEY! I'm a young (about 1-1/2 years old) small terrier in need of a home with a very experienced adopter. You see, I'm terrified of people. I watch my foster mom from afar, and I really want to get to know her - but I'm not quite there yet. I cannot be picked up or petted as that would freak me out. So quite honestly, I'm a special needs dog right now, and can only go to someone who understands scared dogs, and who can work with me and be extremely patient. A big yard wouldn't work for me as you'd never coax me in, so I also need a special set-up, if you have one. I know I may have to wait awhile for a home, but my rescuers believe I will eventually come around to be a loving, happy dog. I weigh only 5 pounds. I do get along great with other dogs and they give me comfort, as I can learn from them. Serious adopters only - please email for an application.

After an initial interview, we work to set up a meet and greet with the new pet.
Additional adoption info
We work hard to match the right dog with the right person or people. Often people inquire about one dog, but end up adopting a different dog that is a better fit. We have many dogs to choose from and are able to successfully match people with their forever companions.
