My story

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

Mickey is appropriately 7-8 years old Yorkie. A few months ago, he was unfortunately hit by a car, and the owners relinquished him to animal control in hopes he would find a rescue that would provide him with the necessary medical care he needed to recover. After a massive surgery by a specialized surgeon, his pelvic area was pieced back together. His foster mom took the best care of him during this time and has done amazing work with him to help rehabilitate.

Mickey craves attention like any Yorkie. He loves sharing a favorite chair or sofa and snuggles. He is great with people, but he isn’t kid tested. Because he is still unsteady on his feet and will be healing and strengthening for a while, homes need to not have young children or rambunctious dogs, because he could easily be trampled and injured. Short walks and an easy, cozy life is what this pup needs for his future.

He loves toys and to play tug. Mickey is sensitive to unknown sounds and will bark at them. Unknown sounds could be a whistling teapot, sandhill cranes, gun shots (he is being fostered in the country), etc. He has a big voice for such a small fellow, so no attached style living for him.

Mickey gets along well with other small dogs, playing with them, sharing his bed and their companionship. Cats are not a good fit for Mickey's future home, because he is quite persistent and annoying to them, and even a swat doesn’t deter him.

Mickey is fostered in Myakka City, FL, and his fee is $350. He's fully vetted and ready to go. No airplane trips for this guy, he must go home by way of riding.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in one of our available dogs, the first step you need to take is completing an adoption application. Once your application is received, it will be forwarded to a volunteer for review. We strive to ensure the best suited home for each of our rescue dogs so there is a lifetime of love for the dog and the adopter. Completion of an application does not guarantee you will be the adopter of any dog.

Here is how the process goes:
Step 1: Complete our adoption application including vet and personal references.

Step 2: All veterinary and personal references will be contacted, so please be sure to inform them ahead of time to expedite this part of the process. Your vet reference(s) will need to confirm that any current pets you own are spayed/neutered and current on HW prevention. If our volunteer feels any major concerns after speaking with your references, the application process ends here.

Step 3: One of our volunteers will conduct an applicant interview and home visit. This allows us the opportunity to get to know you, your lifestyle, home environment, and to determine if your family is the best fit. All members of your household must be present for the home visit. If our volunteer has any major concerns after your home visit, or if you refuse a home visit, your application will be denied at this point.

Step 4: Once your application has been approved, we will coordinate a time for you to meet the dog you are interested in adopting. This could occur at your home or the foster's home. If after meeting, the foster parent does not feel you are the best fit for the dog, your application will be denied.

Step 5: When you reach this stage, you will be required to sign an adoption contract and provide payment of the adoption fee for the dog. The foster parent will coordinate with you to transfer the dog over to you.

Any travel arrangements are the responsibility of the adopter and must be approved by our rescue
prior to agreement of adoption.

Dog adoption fees apply to help recoup veterinary expenses.

More about this rescue

Naked Kisses Dog Rescue, aka NaKiD Rescue, is a non profit, breed specific 501(c)(3) dog rescue, based Florida, serving the southeastern United States. We operate solely on donations from our compassionate supporters and from fundraising. Our main focus and mission is rescuing Chinese Cresteds and other hairless dogs in need.

With over a decade of rescue and foster experience, we fell in love with the Chinese Crested breed along the way. This sensitive breed captured our hearts with their beautiful and silly personalities. They're incredibly loyal and make wonderful companions to their humans. They are happy to go anywhere their humans want to go, or to curl up in bed and have a Netflix marathon. In our eyes, a person couldn't ask for anything more from their beloved canine companion.

While in our foster care, all dogs receive comprehensive medical and behavioral attention so they are ready to find their perfectly matched forever homes. We are entirely dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of this amazing breed, while educating others on responsible pet care and ownership. We also take in other hairless breeds/mixes, and occasionally other small dogs in need of rescue.
