In the shelter’s words

* This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, November 7th from 12PM – 3PM (unless adopted prior to the event). 3910 Middlefield Road All DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/tick treated, and microchipped prior to adoption. Adoption fee: $800 Mikki: Puppy Eyes, Cuddles, and a Little Extra to Love Mikki is a 3 year old, 15 lb Havapoo with a non-shedding coat, soulful puppy eyes and a heart full of affection. His previous owner’s love language was food, so he’s carrying a couple of extra pounds— but underneath that generous serving of love is a little gentleman ready to become someone’s treasured companion. Mikki came to DPS when his older owner developed dementia and could no longer care for him. He was a much-loved, well-cared-for pet, and we promised to find him a wonderful home where that love could continue. An Expert in Togetherness Mikki’s favorite activity is spending time with his people. He loves cuddling, happily follows his foster around the house, and has perfected a look that makes you think, “Well, surely I have time for a few more pets.” Spoiler alert: you do. According to Mikki, you definitely do. Sweet with everyone he’s met, Mikki has been a lovely houseguest in both of his foster homes. He’s happy to relax in his pen when someone is nearby, and at bedtime he settles comfortably in his crate for the night. He enjoys companionship and would love a family that includes him in everyday life, with plenty of affection and cozy time together. A Friendly Housemate Mikki has shared his foster homes successfully with dogs of varying sizes. He gets along well with his canine housemates and walks nicely alongside his foster’s dog. He could enjoy a compatible dog companion in his forever home, though his greatest passion remains collecting love from his humans. He doesn’t need an ambitious exercise schedule. Gentle daily outings, opportunities to sniff, and a sensible meal plan will help him work toward a healthier weight. His ideal fitness program comes with a generous cuddle break afterward. A Coat Worth Caring For Mikki has a non-shedding coat that will need regular grooming to keep him comfortable and looking his handsome best. He has also experienced itchy skin and suspected allergies. His skin has improved greatly on his current diet of Petaluma plant-based kibble with human-grade salmon. His adopters should be prepared to maintain a diet that agrees with him and work with their veterinarian on any ongoing skin needs. While Mikki is comfortable with the dogs he knows at home, passing unfamiliar dogs on leash can bring out some big feelings, including growling and leash reactivity. He’ll benefit from patient, positive training and space from passing dogs as he practices calmer outings. Mikki met a cat at the DPS Safehouse and was unfazed by her. He may be an option for a home with felines. Mikki has already known what it means to be loved, and he’s ready to give that love right back. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who will follow you down the hallway, settle in for a cuddle, and gaze at you like you’re his whole world, Mikki would love to meet you.
