Story
Kronk is a goofy, loving, sweet dog. He's about 5 years old and was found as a stray. He absolutely loves people, other dogs, and playing at the dog park. He wants nothing more than to spend time with you: whether that's playing with a tennis ball (his favorite toy), going on trail hikes, or playing tug. He does have a low-grade heart murmur that is being closely monitored by his vet, but it has had no impact on his health or quality of life. The problem is his foster mom let him sleep in bed with her. We've always crate-trained our dogs and he has not adjusted well to this. He will scream when we get home from work, or when we get up in the morning and don't let him out right away. Due to our busy schedule, it really hurts to see how much he wants this physical attention and affection, and we're just not in that place to give it to him. He really needs a more active family, maybe with kids and/or other dogs that can give him the love and attention he deserves.

Story
Meet Adorable Annie, a gorgeous Lab mix puppy with a bright future ahead of her! After being surrendered to a county shelter, Annie has come to Misty Eyes, where she’s now enjoying life in a loving foster home while she searches for her forever family. Annie is everything you’d hope for in a puppy — active, playful, curious, and full of joy. She loves to explore, play, and soak up attention. With her sweet nature and fun-loving personality, she’ll make a wonderful family companion. Like all puppies, Annie would benefit from basic obedience training. Not only will this help her learn good manners, but it will also give her a positive outlet for all that happy puppy energy. If you’re ready to welcome this beautiful girl into your home and heart, please submit an adoption application online at: https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

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 Chance! He`s an incredibly handsome, loving mature Golden Retriever. When he came to Misty Eyes, Chance was quite overweight at 160 lb. and had several medical issues. With medical treatment, a strict diet and mild exercise, Chance has lost 50 lb.! He has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and is on medication for that, along with medication for arthritis pain. He is prone to ear infections, so requires regular ear maintenance. He must remain on a regulated diet with 6-month checkups to monitor his hypothyroidism. Despite the discomfort he occasionally experiences with his arthritis, Chance is the stereotypical Golden Retriever. He loves everyone and is a joy to be around. He is not destructive in his home, so does not have to be crated, and he has pretty decent potty habits (he barks when he needs to go out). While he will walk on leash, he cannot walk too much due to arthritis and his large size. He loves children, gets along with other dogs (but doesn`t want to play) and is great with cats and kittens. One of his favorite things to do is go for rides in the car. There are costs involved with owning and caring for Chance, so he will need an adopter who can afford his medical needs. The pleasure of his company, though, is well worth the cost! If you can provide the loving home and continued care that Chance needs, please submit an adoption application online at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
Meet Carla, a beautiful brindle 1-year-old, 50 lb. female Pitbull Mix whose heartwarming rescue story is sure to inspire you. Found in the road, narrowly escaping danger from oncoming traffic, Carla was given a second chance at life by a caring Misty Eyes foster family. Now, this loving pup is ready to find her forever home, having been left unclaimed by an owner. Carla is a social butterfly, thriving in a household with two large dogs, where she plays joyfully while respecting their cues for rest. She also coexists harmoniously with cats, patiently accepting their indifference to her playful nature. With her friendly demeanor and sociable spirit, Carla has made friends with everyone she meets. She is crate trained and has good potty habits, making her the perfect addition to any family. Don’t wait—take the first step towards giving Carla the loving home she deserves by submitting your adoption application online at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication. Together, we can help end animal euthanasia and change lives—starting with Carla`s.
