Mikey & Me Mikey & Me is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation located in Chelsea, Mi. I will also provide updates as I get to know each dog. Freer Rd.

Our mission is to pull homeless dogs from city shelters and place them into safe and loving family homes and to help families in need keep the dogs they already have. Mikey died in 2009 at the age of 17, and on that day I promised him that I would provide care for other dogs that needed me because he had brought so much joy and perspective to my life. I live with my partner, John, on a 100 year old farm property just south of Dexter and we currently have 4 dogs, 3 of them having been rescued. To fulfill my promise to Mikey, I joined a rescue group last year but wasn't satisfied with how many dogs they were turning away due to not having foster care arrangements for placing their dogs in a safe environment while they searched for their "forever homes". That's when I decided I could make a bigger impact by filling that need myself. I have't looked back since and here is a summary of my efforts along with how you can help:

I have an old dairy barn on my property that I am having repurposed. On this site, I will be installing comfortable and spacious kennels where I will provide free foster care for abused, neglected or otherwise homeless dogs for as long as it takes our local rescue groups to find their forever homes. I will provide food, water, long walks, social engagement, and plenty of love to these dogs while they are in my care....all in Mikey's name. On this page, I will provide photos of the dogs I have under my care along with contact information for the rescue group they belong to. Adoption fees for each dog can be found on the Happy Days Rescue website @ happydaysdogandcatrescue.org. But I need your help to make this effort an ongoing mission. If you would like to donate to Mikey & Me, please make checks payable to Mikey & Me and mail to:

Visitation:

Visitation for our dogs is by appointment only. If you see a dog on the Mikey & Me FB page that interests you, please submit an adoption application at happydaysdogandcatrescue.org. Once an application has been approved, I can invite the applicant out for a Meet & Greet with that dog. �

With appreciation,

This handsome, 65-pound bundle of love is just 1–2 years old, and he's got the personality to match his unforgettable name!
Rooster is the kind of guy who has never met a stranger. He loves making new friends, gets along well with other dogs, and believes that personal space is overrated. 😂 ❤️

In fact, one of his favorite things to do is stand up and give you a BIG Rooster hug! 🤗

🐓 Age: 1–2 years young
🐾 Breed: Mixed Breed
❤️ Personality: Sweet, loving, friendly, and full of charm!
🎾 Favorite activities: Playing ball, having fun, and spending time with his people
🐶 Dog-friendly: Yes! He enjoys his canine friends.
🤗 Special talent: Giving the BEST hugs!

Rooster is already neutered, fully vaccinated, and may even be potty trained! He's also done well on his recent physical exam.
Now, there's just ONE thing missing from his life...

🏡 A FOREVER FAMILY TO CALL HIS OWN!

Whether you're looking for a backyard ball-playing buddy, a four-legged best friend, or a 65-pound hug machine, Rooster might just be your guy!

🐾💕 SWEET MOCHA HAS FOUND HER FOREVER HOME! 💕🐾

Some things in life are just a little sweeter… and today, it’s MOCHA’s happily ever after! ☕❤️

Our sweet, fun-loving girl has officially found her forever family, and we couldn’t be happier for her! 🏡🐶

Mocha has brought so much personality, love, and joy to everyone who has gotten to know her. From her playful spirit to her sweet snuggles, she’s the kind of girl who leaves paw prints on your heart. 🐾

Now it’s her turn to enjoy all the love, adventures, cozy naps, and endless belly rubs that come with having a family of her very own!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who loved Mocha, cared for her, and helped her along the way. And to her new family, thank you for giving this special girl the happy ending she deserves. 💚

Happy tails, sweet Mocha! Your best chapter is just beginning! 🐾🏡❤️

🎉🐾 TEDDY FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME! 🐾🎉

Our sweet, silly, energetic Teddy has officially hit the FOREVER FAMILY JACKPOT! 💚😭

Teddy is heading home to everything we could have hoped for—a Pittie sister to be his new best friend AND two human siblings to love, play with, and grow up alongside! 🐶👧🧒

For a boy with so much love and personality to give, this feels like the perfect ending to his Mikey & Me chapter…and the very beginning of his best adventure yet. 🥹

Teddy, we hope your days are filled with Pittie snuggles, sibling shenanigans, endless playtime, and the kind of love that makes you wonder how you ever lived without each other. 💚

Happy tails, Teddy! You’re HOME! 🏡🐾💚

Drop some love for Teddy and his new family below! 🎉🥰

🐾 SONIC FOUND HIS HOME! 🏡💚

This one has us a little emotional. 🥹

Sonic has been waiting for his person for a long time. Along the way, he’s learned, grown, gained confidence, and reminded us over and over again just how special he is.

And now… the wait was worth it. ❤️

We are SO excited to share that Sonic has finally found the perfect fit and is officially HOME! 🎉🐶

To his amazing foster parents Evie & Rick, every volunteer, supporter, trainer, dog walker, and friend who spent time with Sonic, encouraged him, shared his posts, loved him, and helped him become the amazing dog he is today — thank you. It truly took a village to get this sweet boy to his happily ever after.

Some dogs find their families quickly. Others just need a little more time for the right people to find them.

Sonic, your people finally found you. 💚

Enjoy photos of Sonic with his new family, his foster parents, and settling in nicely into his new home!

Happy tails, sweet boy. You waited a long time for this one — now go live your very best life. 🐾🏡❤️

It’s one of our FAVORITE days at Mikey & Me — PACK WALK DAY! 🐶💚

There’s nothing better than watching our pups get out of the rescue, stretch their legs, sniff ALL the smells, explore new surroundings, and enjoy a little adventure with their favorite humans! 🐕🌳

Pack walks aren’t just fun — they give our dogs a chance to decompress, socialize, practice their leash skills, and simply enjoy being a dog. ❤️

Because every rescue pup deserves a day out on the town! 💚

This year, one of our wonderful volunteer families had the honor of hosting an exchange student, and Mikey & Me became part of her experience here! 🐶❤️

The two sat down for a fun interview to talk about her time volunteering with us, the dogs she met, and what the experience meant to her.

Take a listen to their conversation! 💚
