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 Buck: A Loyal Snuggle Buddy Buck will be 7 years old this year and has been our beloved companion since he was just 8 weeks old. He has grown up with our family and has always been incredibly patient and gentle with our two young children. Buck loves walks, playing fetch, and most of all snuggling. He truly believes he’s a lap dog and is happiest curled up close to his people. He thrives on love and attention and would do best in a home where he can be part of the family. He has lived with cats and done wonderfully with them. He also plays well with other dogs, especially those his size or smaller. Larger dogs can make him a bit nervous, but he has never shown aggression. Rehoming Buck has been a very difficult decision due to our son’s allergy and health issues. We hope to find him a loving home where he can get the attention he deserves. 🐾

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.

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
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 Gimli, a strikingly handsome 4-year-old German Shepherd weighing about 65 pounds. Like many GSDs, Gimli forms deep bonds with his person, and he’s finding it a bit challenging to adjust after being surrendered through no fault of his own. Now in a loving Misty Eyes foster home, he’s beginning his journey toward finding the one special person or family he can call his own.Gimli is a sensitive, somewhat anxious boy with mild separation anxiety, but with patience, consistency, and companionship, his confidence will continue to grow. Once he feels secure, he will reward his person with unwavering loyalty and devotion—everything this incredible breed is known for.He is crate-trained, has good house manners, and is not destructive in the home (though he may occasionally test the counters for snacks!). Gimli does well with older children and gets along with other dogs, and having both human and canine companions will help him feel more comfortable as he settles in.Gimli would thrive in a home familiar with the German Shepherd breed—one that can provide structure, mental stimulation, and ideally ongoing training to help him reach his full potential. With the right environment and a little time, Gimli is sure to blossom into an extraordinary companion.
