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
Hello! We have a senior dog that we are looking to rehome. Rocket is a 14 yr old rat terrier/beagle mix. We have had him over 11 years, but my daughter and I are not home enough now to give him the attention he needs. That leaves my elderly parents to care for him, and that is not fair to them or the dog. He’s a sweetheart who can be a pain in the butt. A combination of laying around and can’t sit still, with a side of begging (crying) for food. But he’s a good snuggler and sometimes will still play tug like a puppy! If you know anyone looking to add to their family who can give him the attention he needs, please let me know. They will love him. ❤️

Story
Meet Coco, a very cute, spicy little Corgi-mix who is ready to find his new forever home! Coco is a 7½-year-old, 14-pound male dog whose life changed when his owner sadly passed away. He was surrendered to a shelter and has now found his way to a Misty Eyes foster home while he waits for a loving family of his own.This little guy is friendly, outgoing, and absolutely loves attention from his people! He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys leash walks, running around in a fenced yard, and even visiting a dog park. Coco is not a fan of being confined, so he is not crated—but he does well free-roaming the home when his people are away.Coco arrived at Misty Eyes with bladder stones. After being placed on a prescription diet, he underwent surgery to remove the remaining stones and is doing well. He will need to continue eating only his prescription diet to help protect his urinary health.While Coco loves people and attention, he can also be a bit of a grouch when it comes to brushing, nail trims, and vet visits—so he will need an adopter who understands his spicy little personality! He also likes to bark at and attempt to chase cars, bicycles, and other vehicles while on walks.Coco would love a home where he can receive plenty of the attention he craves, along with moderate physical activity. Because of his occasional grouchiness during handling, he needs a home without small children. If you’d like to meet this adorable little guy and see if Coco might be your perfect match, please submit an adoption application online at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
Meet sweet Willow, a delightful Pittie Mix, who is about 4 years young and weighs in at 53 pounds! With her charming personality and infectious energy, she is sure to steal your heart! Rescued from an overcrowded shelter in southern Indiana in 2022, Willow embodies the spirit of second chances. She was adopted, briefly, and returned through no fault of hers.

So, if you`re looking to add a bundle of joy to your life, consider giving sweet Willow her forever home—because who wouldn`t want a little more sweetness in their life?
