He moved from AZ with his last owner that he lived with most of his life he was there for his human buddy while his human was ill and past away at a younger age of cancer just a week after we took Mickey into our rescue Mickey was there for his owner while he was fighting for his life Mickey hospiced him until there was no more hospicing left, luckily the owners family cared enough to look for a rescue to take him in after all he wasn't just dumped in a pound They told his prev. owner before he past away that Mikey was in best hands with us which he is but he really want to belong and bond again with his own people that will love him and adore him exactly what he so deserves after sticking with his human for so years and moving here from AZ seeing his owner fight for his life and being there to support him now it's time for Mikeys second chance to live life at the fullest he's like a bright star that will make you see and enjoy each day to the fullest adoption fee references, fenced yard, pics of home
