My personality

My story

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

Mikey is an 8-week-old, 10-pound male believed to be a Poodle and German Shepherd mix. His journey began with a compassionate Good Samaritan who took him and his littermates into her care after convincing the owner to surrender them. She also contacted authorities to ensure the adult dogs in the home received the care they needed. Our organization has stepped in to assist with any expenses required to support this effort.

Despite his rough start, Mikey is now thriving in his foster home in McHenry, Illinois. He’s embracing indoor life and has quickly become a fan of toys, food, and the attention of the resident children, who are showering him with love and affection.

While we do our best to breed type based on veterinary insight and information from the previous owner, we cannot guarantee exact breeds. Mikey is up to date on immunizations, dewormed, and microchipped. He’s ready to find an adoptive family who will give him the love and care he deserves.

If Mikey sounds like the perfect addition to your family—reach out to meet this wonderful little guy today!

More about this rescue

Our Experience and Approach to Rescue

With over 60 years of combined experience in veterinary medicine and competitive arenas for both horses and dogs, our team brings a wealth of knowledge to the world of animal rescue. We receive calls from both Wisconsin and Illinois, often from shelters asking for individuals who initially thought raising a litter would be enjoyable but found it more challenging than expected.

When we take in these puppies, we ensure that the owners agree to spay or neuter the parents, and we cover the cost as our commitment to ending preventable breeding cycles. By stepping in before these puppies reach shelters, we protect them from exposure to parvovirus and other illnesses common in high-stress environments.

Given our small size and limited resources, we must be selective in the cases we take on. However, even when we cannot take in every litter, we’re still committed to funding and arranging for parents to be altered, directing many families to appropriate resources.

The animal rescue community is vast, and there are many ways to help—this is ours. We may each do things differently, but together, we all play a role in making a difference.
