Hi, I’m Mickey,

I’ll be honest with you… the world can feel a little big and overwhelming at first. I might be shy when we meet, and sometimes my nerves get the best of me. But underneath that? I am a really sweet, people-loving guy who just wants connection. I don’t stay unsure for long. Once I feel safe, I lean in—literally. I seek out affection, attention, and reassurance, and I become a very happy, loving companion. I’m the kind of dog who wants to be near you, with you, part of your world. 

I’ve got a playful, active side too! Right now, I love to run (a lot!), so a fenced yard would make me very happy. Toys are still a bit new to me, but I’m starting to figure them out. Walks? We’re working on that—I can get a little unsure and would rather head back home—but with patience, I know I’ll get there. 

And when it comes to cuddling… oh, I’m all in. I might bring a little chaotic energy at first (okay, maybe I’ll bounce off you once or twice ), but then I settle in and just want to be close. I really do love my people.

What I’m Looking For: I’m going to thrive with someone who understands that confidence takes time to build. I’ll need:


Patience and encouragement as I continue learning the world is safe
A consistent routine to help me feel secure
Continued support with potty and crate training
A home that can manage my energy (and ideally has a fenced yard!)


I’m still learning, but I’m trying—and I’m worth it.

A Few Honest Notes (Because You Deserve That):


I’m still working on potty and crate training
I may have accidents if left too long—I’m not quite ready for a full workday alone yet
I can be a little sensitive around food with other dogs, so thoughtful management is important


But here’s the thing… I’m improving every day. And once I’m settled, I am a really happy, loving dog who just wants to belong. 

Why You’ll Love Me

Because when you choose me, you’re not just getting a dog—you’re getting a companion who will grow with you, trust you deeply, and love you in that quiet, meaningful way that only a once-shy dog can.

If you’re willing to give me a little time… I promise I’ll give you my whole heart.

Love,Mickey

Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption. 

 The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Request Form prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org.
