DOG OF THE WEEK

P

repare to have this little bundle of joy steal your 
heart from the moment you meet him! 
Meet Miguelito! A 3-month-old, 9-pound hound 
mix. He has the sweetest friendly eyes, and his tail is 
always wagging. He really has the best personality. 
 Despite his young age, Miguelito is remarkably well-
mannered. He’s a quick learner and is already learning to 
walk on a leash with ease. 
 Miguelito loves his playtime! He enjoys romping around 
with his toys and exploring his surroundings with curious 
enthusiasm. He is also a great cuddle buddy. Miguelito 
adores being held and snuggling up close. He is warm 
and affection of all those around him. 
 When it’s time to wind down, Miguelito easily settles 
inro his crate to sleep. He goes in without fuss, curling up 
cozily until morning. He is easygoing and adaptable with 
the sweetest personality. 
 Miguelito gets along well with other dogs and shows 
curiosity toward cats. While our three cats are a bit leery 
of him, he has been calm and friendly around them. We 
believe he would fit in well in a household with both cats 
and dogs.

almosthomeanimals.org if you want to bring this love bug 
home. Miguelito is based out of West Bloomfield.
