Story
Sirius is a very goofy, playful, energetic dog. He is super duper lovable. Sirius is 3 1/2 years old. We’re looking for a family who is very active always out and about. Love to take their dog anywhere they go. He definitely has a lot of energy to expel and is great with kids. Can be quirky sometimes, but loves to live in your shadow. please note that when we first got him, he was very skittish but he wasn’t aggressive, did not want to be touched for a while so keep that in mind. He also really loves cuddles but does not like kisses.

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. 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 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
Meet Pepper, a sweet, happy hound-mix with the perfect balance of playful energy and laid-back charm. Though she’s a mature adult, she’s far from a senior—still full of life and ready to enjoy both adventures and cozy couch time. Pepper came to us after being surrendered due to an unfortunate incident with another dog in her previous home. Despite that experience, she has remained a friendly, affectionate, and delightfully goofy companion who loves people.Pepper does have a few preferences when it comes to her home environment. She is not a fan of cats and would do best in a cat-free household. She also prefers calmer canine companions and isn’t shy about correcting overly energetic puppies who get in her space. True to her hound heritage, Pepper has a beautiful, booming bay—so she’ll need a home where her voice won’t be an issue, making her best suited for a house rather than an apartment or condo with shared walls.If you’re looking for a loving, entertaining companion who will make you smile every day, Pepper might be your perfect match.If you’d like to meet this sweet, funny girl, please submit an adoption application online at:https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication

Story
Abel originally came to us because his family felt they really didn`t have time for a dog. He was adopted, but his next family returned him after 6 years because he was having potty accidents. It turns out that Abel has good potty habits, as long as he`s on a regular schedule and provided ample time for potty breaks. Abel is a VERY good boy and weighs about 34 lbs. He likes to be close and loves to sleep on his family members` pillows if they let him. He is a playful guy who would love a dog playmate or kids to help him burn off his fun energy. Abel has lived with a cat and did well. He is crate trained, but but has not been destructive in the home. If you`d like to meet Abel, please submit an adoption application online at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.
