Meet Micks, a five-year-old mixed breed with legs that go on forever and a heart to match. This tall drink of water is a total sweetheart, bursting with love and loyalty for his people. Whether he's leaning in for cuddles or showing off his goofy side, Micks is all about human connection—and he has so much love to give. Micks has been trained with a halti and walks well on leash, but with his long legs and powerful stride, he can still give the shelter staff a run for their money (especially since they’re all under 5'10!). He would do best with someone who’s confident and experienced with large dogs. Micks is smart and eager to work—he thrives when he has a job to do. He's been doing scent training at the shelter and is showing great potential with it. With continued training and mental enrichment, he could really shine in an activity-focused home. Socially, Micks can be friends with female dogs who match his energy, as long as the introduction is slow and proper. Male dogs and cats, however, are a no-go for this guy. Because of his large size and lack of spatial awareness, he’s best suited to an adult-only home where he won’t accidentally knock anyone over with his enthusiasm. Micks is more than just long legs and a handsome face—he’s a loyal, loving companion looking for someone who will appreciate his quirks, support his training, and give him the forever home he deserves.
