Can you imagine what it feels like to lose the one person who meant the world to you… and then lose the only home you’ve ever known? To be left wandering, confused, starved and heartbroken?

Hi, I’m senior doggo Mikey and not long ago, my whole world shattered. My dad—the only family I ever had—passed away. After that, I was no longer welcome in the home we shared. Still, I waited… for days… for weeks… curled up nearby, hoping someone would open the door and welcome me back. But no one ever did.

The neighbors noticed me. They gave me food and water. They were kind—but they knew I needed more - I needed a new family and home to call my own. Eventually, they contacted the shelter, thinking it would help. But the shelter was overflowing with puppies and younger dogs, and there was no space or hope for someone like me.

After all, who would want an old dog like me, eh? So things got worse for me and I ended up on the shelter euthanasia list. Sigh.

But just when it seemed like my life was coming to a heartbreaking end…someone contacted ‘Hugs for Harry’ rescue and shared my story. And without any hesitation, they said “Yes”! So here I still am—not just alive…but loved, nurtured, cherished…because someone believed I was worth saving.

Now, I’m searching for a second chance—at love, at life, and at finding a place to finally call home again. I still have so much love left to give, and I’m hoping someone out there will see past my age and look at the good boy I’ve always been.

Here’s a little more about me. I’m a gentle, sweet and affectionate 10-year-old Lab mix, weighing around 80lbs. I’m a tender soul who adores giving kisses and snuggles and simply following my people around. I get along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, love a good car ride, and enjoy short, easy strolls where I can take in the world around me. I don’t really know how to play with toys—but that’s okay. All I really want is you.

Will you be the one to give me my second chance? Or maybe you’ll be the one to help me find my forever? Either way, you could be the reason my story ends in love, not loneliness.

I’m waiting—with hope, with gratitude, and with all the love in the world.

Love,

Mikey
