Mickey is 1.5 years old approximately, but is still in his puppy mode! He loves to play , snuggle, and meet new people. He has just learned how to play with toys, play on his own, and understand no one is ever going to hurt him again. He is mostly house trained, but it looks like it will take some more work as I don't think anyone ever showed him properly. He is so smart though! He is very easy to train as he is so food motivated,
The ideal person /family would be the type that absolutely loves snuggling with him on the couch, is patient and calm, and can smother him with love and attention. After what I think he has been through, he deserves nothing less.
He has been so sweet with our 2 cats, very gentle and has never tried to scare or race at them. He gets along very well with other dogs, but is prone to be very protective at our fence. We are working on getting him to stay calm and realize he does not need to defend his territory. He loves our female dog and follows her around constantly. Our dog is very calm which I think is nest for him, although he does need more play with dogs.

He is very obedient, and walks very well on leash. Even if another dog starts barking at him or being aggressive while walking, he stays very calm if you tell him it is ok and to " ignore" or " leave it".
He understands the commands sit, lie down, out, no , get down, come, stay and wait. This is not 100% of the time of course, but considering what he learned the last 10 days, this is a miracle.
He is just the happiest dog, but he does need someone that will spend a lot of time with him - either someone who works only part time or remote, unless he can go to a daycare. He is medium to high energy and needs a lot of play and walks.
He does not do well in a crate. He will go in, but becomes very anxious and depressed. I have left him alone up to 3 hours with all my animals, and he did not get destructive and everyone got along.

He is allergic to chicken, but now that we have figured this out, he is very healthy.

He is really becoming the perfect dog and we love him so much.
