Lump on My Dog: When to Worry and When to Wait
Found a lump on your dog? Learn when to worry and when to wait for a lump on my dog, especially for adopted pets with unknown histories.
Meet Mike, a charming senior with the spirit of a much younger dog! He's a delightful mix of independent and snuggly, always ready to share his big heart. Mike enjoys exploring his surroundings, whether it's sniffing around a fenced yard or accompanying you on a leisurely walk. While he might be a little bossy with other dogs, he's all playfulness and affection when it comes to people, often showing off his cutest yoga poses for attention. He's not a 'velcro' dog, but he cherishes his human connections and loves a comfy bed for his nightly snoozes.
As a Maltese mix, Mike likely inherits a friendly and lively disposition. Maltese are known for their gentle yet spirited nature, making them wonderful companions. They typically have a low-shedding coat that requires regular grooming to prevent mats, so consistent brushing will keep Mike looking his best. His moderate energy level means he'll thrive with daily walks and outdoor exploration, balancing playtime with plenty of rest. His intelligence and eagerness to please make him a rewarding companion, though he's still working on his house training and might benefit from belly bands as he settles into a new routine.
Mike is looking for a loving home where he can be the center of attention, ideally as an only dog where he won't feel the need to boss around other canine companions. He's indifferent to cats, so a home with feline friends could work. He'd appreciate a family that can provide consistent house training support and enjoys daily walks. A fenced yard would be a bonus for his sniffing adventures. Despite his limited vision, Mike is full of life and ready to bring joy, laughter, and a touch of sass to his forever family.
Special Needs
Mike has one eye removed and a cataract in his remaining eye, resulting in limited vision. He will be adopted on a medical addendum.
