Story
Have you ever laid eyes on such a dapper and dignified dog as Hamilton? This 4-year-old, 65-pound bundle of joy is not just a handsome face; he`s a heart full of potential waiting for the right person to unlock it! Although he was adopted from Misty Eyes as a puppy, the whirlwind of life has left him a bit unrefined in the socialization and training department. But don’t let that deter you! With a sprinkle of love and a dash of patience, Hamilton can learn the ropes and shine like the star he truly is. This sweet boy is a gentle giant who prefers to express himself through tail wags rather than barks, is already crate-trained, and peacefully coexists with resident cats and most large dogs. His favorite activities include soaking up the sun, indulging in belly rubs, and playing with his toys—talk about a laid-back lifestyle! A chaotic, busy environment does seem to stress Hamilton somewhat, so a quiet home with a fenced yard would be best for him. With so many pets in need of homes, there`s no time like the present to open your heart and home to Hamilton. If you`d like to meet him, please submit an adoption application online at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
Meet Theo, a charming Chihuahua-mix who is approximately 10 years old and has an inspiring story of resilience and love. After enduring a challenging life prior to his arrival at Misty Eyes Animal Center, Theo has emerged as a truly affectionate companion, weighing in at a petite 8 pounds. Upon intake, he faced significant health challenges, including a severe flea infestation and dental issues that resulted in the removal of three infected teeth, leaving him toothless. Despite these obstacles, he has a vibrant spirit and is thriving on a canned food diet. While he occasionally makes a nasal sound due to the effects of his tooth loss, this does not hinder his joyful disposition. Theo is deaf but compensates with an endearing personality, relishing moments spent snuggling on the couch and burrowing with his human at night. He has also developed a newfound enthusiasm for playing with balls, showcasing his playful side that can last for hours. Currently in a loving foster home with other small dogs, he demonstrates a friendly demeanor, although he does not get along with cats. While he may need some assistance with potty training—being less reliable with potty pads but doing well with regular potty breaks—Theo is eager to find a forever home where he can share his boundless affection and enjoy a fulfilling life. Theo has enjoyed being able to roam in a fenced yard for potty breaks, and is not leash trained. A securely fenced yard is preferable for this little gentleman. He is truly the perfect lap dog, ready to bring joy and companionship to a caring family. If you`d like to meet Theo, please submit an adoption application online at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
Reese is the sweetest little girl you will ever meet! This poor girl was found dumped, and had several wounds all over her. We took her in to help get her the care and love she deserves. She is approximately 6-12 months old, according to our vet. She is fully up to date on her vaccines, and is spayed as of 12/1/25. Unfortunately, we cannot keep her long term in our home, as we already have several other pets. She is extremely good with other dogs, our cat, and with our children. She loves to play as much as she is allowed, but she will snuggle with you for as long as she is allowed to! She is now crate trained, house trained, and working on her leash manners. She would love to be adopted into a home with children or other pets, but she would also do wonderfully as a single pet. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
