Occasionally, we have retiring adult Mi-Kis available to the right home. It’s always a difficult decision to place our treasured companions into other families when they’ve been such a huge part of ours. We try to balance the needs of the Mi-Ki gene pool, our family, and the needs of the dogs. This means not over-breeding our Mi-Kis, not collecting too many, and allowing them to retire to a pampered life in a loving family where they aren’t competing with several other dogs for attention.
Mi-Kis usually live from 12-15 years of age. Adopting one of our adults is less of a commitment for retirees who are looking for companionship or families hoping to skip potty training and the teething stage.
As family dogs, our adults are not accustomed to being in crates. They are fond of sleeping with humans, playing in the yard, regular walks, and being part of our lives. In short, our adult Mi-Kis are ready-made pets that will thrive with a bit of fine-tuning in their training that they’ll be able to receive with more individualized care.
Everleigh – available April 2023 – now reserved
Everleigh will be spayed on March 22, 2023. She turned 5 years old in January 2023. She is both piddle pad trained and trained to the outdoors. She is playful and has an easy-care coat. She will do well with active retirees or a family with kids. She weighs 7.5 pounds. She enjoys walks and car rides. Her beard is starting to turn a little bit gray. Offspring will do that to us! Everleigh is now reserved and will be living with another Royal T Mi-Ki, Cassidy/Phoebe.
Sinbad
Sinbad is the sweetest, most adoring dog who will enjoy being someone’s pet. He gets along with other dogs and is content just sleeping near his significant human. He’s not the smartest Mi-Ki, for sure, but he’s smart enough to know which side his bread is buttered on. He has enjoyed good health but did sustain a head injury that we weren’t sure he would recover from. He has made a remarkable recovery, but we don’t know if it will have implications for his future health. He still has some vision problems in some lighting situations and a slightly weird gait – stairs can be a little tricky, though he can still use them. Sinbad prefers to have his nails Dremmeled rather than cut. Like Moses, Sinbad wears a belly band in the house and is accustomed to using potty pads for #2’s. He also enjoys going outside. Sinbad is a compact 8 pounds and is 7 years old as of November 2022. Sinbad is scheduled for a teeth cleaning and neuter in April of 2023.
