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 3½ 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. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this deserving girl, please submit an adoption application at: https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
Meet handsome Copper, a striking 5-year-old pup with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life! After the sad loss of his owner, Copper was surrendered to a shelter. He’s now safe in a Misty Eyes foster home while he waits for a loving forever family to call his own. Weighing 52 pounds, Copper is believed to be an Irish Setter / Border Collie mix — a combination that often brings together intelligence, athleticism, and enthusiasm. True to his heritage, Copper is friendly, outgoing, and full of energy. He gets along well with other dogs, especially those close to his size, and would thrive with an active family. He is somewhat anxious and becomes distressed with too much activity in the home. He would do best in a quiet home without a great many visitors and noise, but with owners able to provide the physical and mental stimulation he needs. If you’re looking for a loyal walking buddy, hiking companion, or adventure partner, Copper may be the perfect match for you. 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.

Frito needs to go to a home where he is the only dog. He loves to sit on laps. He needs taken out frequently. He would do best in a home with no other pets or kids. He would be great for a stay at home worker or someone retired. Unsure of the breed of dog he was a rescue dog. Also unsure of the age was predicted to be 2 when we got him, he should be around 7 now.

Story
Meet Regina, a beautiful 4-year-old parti-colored Standard Poodle who is finally getting the chance to enjoy life as a beloved companion instead of a puppy producer. Now retired from a puppy mill, Regina has come to Misty Eyes to begin her journey toward the happy forever home she deserves.Like many retired breeder dogs, Regina is still learning about the world around her. While she can be nervous at first, she warms up quickly and shows her sweet, friendly personality once she feels safe. She’s not as unsocialized as many mill dogs, but she will still need a patient and understanding adopter who can help her continue to build confidence and learn “how to be a dog.” Regina would do best with someone experienced with puppy mill survivors or someone willing to give her the time, kindness, and gentle guidance she needs to blossom into the loving companion she was always meant to be. If you’d like to meet Regina, 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.
