Forget everything you know about mice, because Mouse is about as far from a tiny, timid house mouse as you can get! This Mouse is friendly, sweet, and smart, with a personality much more suited to the centre of attention than hiding behind the couch. He loves meeting people, soaking up attention, and showing off just how clever he is. Give him a little encouragement (and maybe a few tasty treats), and he's more than happy to put that bright brain to work. Mouse is the kind of dog who would make an excellent assistant for just about anything: snack quality control, neighbourhood walks, learning new tricks, or supervising whatever his family happens to be doing. He's ready to find a family who will keep his clever mind busy, give him plenty of exercise, and appreciate all the sweetness that comes with this very large-in-spirit Mouse.
Tiny name. Big personality. Mouse is ready to scurry his way into your heart!
