About this Dog
Update 7/9/25: Sadly Mike is back in the shelter. Adopted in 2020, his owner recently passed away and there was no family to take him. Now he is almost 13 years old (17lbs). Nothing sadder than a senior dog in the shelter, especially a special needs boy. Mike is on meds for his heart and will need regular follow ups with the vet. If you can open your home to this special boy please reach out to us ASAP. 9/2019 Meet our special needs boy Mike! Mike is a 7 year old Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix. He is about 17 lbs. This boy has a bilateral heart murmur due to a leaky valve. We took him to a cardiologist and he is now on Vetmedin (2mg twice a day) which he will need to be on for the rest of his life. He is such a great dog who loves people and other dogs....we are hoping there is a kind soul out there who will consider adopting him. Mike has been a perfect resident and he loves to spend time with our staff and volunteers. If you would like more information on Mike, please stop in or call our office today! Potential adopters should be willing to do a cardiology work up on Mike.

Adopt Mike and Receive Mike's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Mike's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Mike's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Mike, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Mike's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Mike was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Mike’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Mike’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Mike’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
