Story
Meet handsome Copper, a striking 5½-year-old pup with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life! After the heartbreaking loss of his owner, Copper was surrendered to a shelter. Thankfully, he is now safe in a Misty Eyes foster home while he waits for a loving forever family to call his own.Weighing about 65 pounds, Copper is believed to be a Red Border Collie. He gets along well with other dogs, especially those close to his size, and the companionship of a well-socialized canine friend may help him feel more comfortable. Copper is a somewhat anxious boy who can become distressed when there is too much activity in the home. He would do best in a quiet household without lots of visitors and noise, but with people who can provide the physical and mental stimulation a smart, active Border Collie needs. He loves riding in the car, although he has a very different opinion of moving vehicles—he wants to chase them! Busy roads and traffic noise are also unsettling for him, so a quiet neighborhood would be ideal. Because Copper can become cranky when stressed, he would not be a good match for a home with young children. However, for the right adult family, this handsome boy has so much potential!Copper is an intelligent fellow who would likely thrive with additional training. If you’re looking for a loyal walking buddy, hiking companion, or adventure partner, Copper may be your perfect match! If you’re ready to give this wonderful boy the fresh start he deserves, please submit an adoption application online at: https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
Meet Piper—a truly special little lady who’s been waiting far too long to find her forever home. This sweet Miniature Pinscher mix has quite the story. She arrived at Misty Eyes Animal Center from a shelter with her litter of eight puppies, and after lovingly raising them, it’s finally her turn to be cared for and cherished. Piper will be a bit timid at first and can be shy around new people, but with patience, kindness, and a little time, she blossoms into a devoted and affectionate companion. Once you’ve earned her trust, she’ll happily curl up beside you and show just how loving she truly is. At around 4 years old and 30 pounds, Piper has a playful side—she especially enjoys chasing her favorite ball and letting her joyful spirit shine. Because she can be sensitive to loud noises and unfamiliar situations, she would do best in a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe and secure. Piper finds comfort in her people and forms strong, loyal bonds. With the right family—one that understands her gentle nature and is willing to go at her pace—she will be an incredibly rewarding companion.

Story
Cinnamon is a rare find! As a retired puppy mill breeder dog, we expected her to be shy and frightened when she first arrived at Misty Eyes. Instead, this sweet girl is outgoing, friendly and happy to receive human attention. She’s already discovering how wonderful life can be as a beloved canine companion in her foster home.Although Cinnamon is more socialized than many puppy mill survivors, she still has plenty to learn about being a family member. She’s working on good potty habits, learning to accept handling and grooming, discovering the fun of doggy toys, and figuring out that being a couch potato is actually a pretty great job! Cinnamon would love a patient, loving family who will give her the time and encouragement she needs as she continues her journey toward becoming the confident family dog she was meant to be. She isn’t yet comfortable walking on a leash, so a home with a securely fenced yard would be best. She would also benefit from having another friendly, confident dog to help show her the ropes and teach her all about being part of a family.Cinnamon has already made wonderful progress, and with the right family, we know there is so much more to come! If you’d like to help this special girl discover the joys of being loved, please submit an adoption application online at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
Meet Sammy, a lovable Lab/Shepherd mix who`s almost four years old and tipping the scales at a solid 80 pounds of pure joy! This friendly and energetic boy has had quite the journey, arriving at Misty Eyes from an overcrowded shelter alongside his siblings. Although he was adopted as a puppy, life threw a curveball, and he found himself back in the care of our dedicated team—through no fault of his own! Now, in his foster home, Sammy is wagging his tail with delight as he polishes up his house manners, proving that practice makes paw-fect! Sammy adores going on walks and spending quality time with his foster family, ready to bring boundless happiness to a forever home. Although he is fine with most people, Sammy doesn`t appreciate other animals, so will need to be the only pet in the home. He would be a great fit for a country home with property where he can expend his energy. If you would like an active, loyal companion, please submit an adoption application for Sammy online at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
Brandy is a beautiful 6-year-old Miniature Long-Haired Dachshund who is finally getting her chance at a real life after retiring from a puppy mill breeding operation. Like many puppy mill survivors, Brandy was never properly socialized, so she is extremely shy and cautious around people. Despite her fearfulness, she is a very sweet little girl who simply needs time, patience, and understanding to learn that people can be kind and loving.Shortly after coming to Misty Eyes, Brandy experienced a ruptured disc and required surgery. Unfortunately, back problems are not uncommon in Dachshunds, particularly those who have been poorly bred. Brandy has recovered from her surgery and completed her physical therapy. She is able to walk and continues to make progress, although she may never have a completely normal gait. Continued walking will help maintain her strength and mobility. To protect her back, she should avoid stairs (although a couple of steps are okay), jumping, and trying to stand on her back legs.Brandy is currently thriving in a Misty Eyes foster home, where she is beginning to discover what it means to be a cherished companion instead of simply a puppy-producing dog. She will need a calm, patient adopter who is willing to let her progress at her own pace and help her build confidence in her new world. A friendly, easygoing dog who isn`t overly active would be an important part of her new family, providing her with a buddy and mentor.Brandy has been through a lot, but she is ready to begin the next chapter of her life. If you think you could provide the gentle, loving home she deserves, please complete an adoption application online at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.
