Learn dog body language
While our canine companions can’t speak to us verbally, we can learn a lot about what they are saying through body language.


If you're looking for a loyal companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Miguel might just be your perfect match! This affectionate goofball loves being around his people and thrives when he's included as part of the family. Miguel is best suited to a home where he can spend plenty of time indoors, enjoying all the comforts and companionship that family life has to offer.
Miguel absolutely adores human company and would happily spend his days by your side. Like many enthusiastic dogs, he can sometimes forget his manners and get a little excitable, particularly when greeting people, resulting in a bit of jumping up. He will flourish with an adopter who is committed to continuing his training, rewarding calm behaviours.
While Miguel has shown some interest in toys while in shelter, we expect his playful side to shine even brighter once he's settled into a home environment and feeling comfortable.
Miguel is a big fan of food, and we highly recommend feeding his meals through food-based enrichment to provide both mental stimulation and a fun outlet for his energy. Great options include Kongs, Kong Wobblers, snuffle mats, snuffle boxes, egg cartons, and even clean milk bottles. Enrichment activities like these can help keep Miguel happy, engaged, and satisfied.
Miguel would be best suited to a home with older children or teenagers who can also be involved in his ongoing training and help reinforce good manners. Miguel must meet any resident dogs prior to adoption.
Miguel is a lovable, fun-loving boy with so much potential. With guidance, consistency, and plenty of inclusion in family life, he's sure to become a wonderful companion who will keep you smiling every day.
