Here's what you need to know about me: My foster mom says I'm 10 years young and an active boy. She's happy that I'm house trained and get along with the family dog. When she pets me all over, I get all wiggly, silly and make her laugh!I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.I have some handling sensitivity. That means I have some preferences about how and where I get petted. My human friends at the shelter can tell you more!It's recommended I meet any kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.I can live with another dog (or two), but prefer them to be either male or an older female. I have a hard time co-existing with young females since I lived most of my life intact. Ask an adoption counselor for more information!I'm currently in foster and ready for my new home!

Story
Here's what you need to know about me: Hi, I'm Mishka, a dignified lady with the most adorable ears you've ever seen! I'm a wonderful walking companion and love checking in with my person along the way. I enjoy taking in the surroundings and stopping to sniff as we go. I also LOVE playing with jolly balls; it's one of my favorite ways to have fun and burn off some energy! My shelter friends are helping me learn to stay calm around other dogs while on leash and take treats gently. I'm treat motivated especially for yummy cheese which makes positive training fun for me! After our adventures, I'm all about ear scratches and relaxing by your side.It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I appreciate a slow introduction to other dogs, I just want to make sure we all get along.I need a home without any cats, chickens, or other small animals. I chase them and it's not safe for me to share my home or space with them.I'm available for Trial Adoption!

Story
I've been in the shelter longer than most and my adoption fee has been paid by someone who loves me.My foster knows me better than anyone! Here's what they had to say about me during my time with them: He is excited to wake up for morning snuggles and often wiggles himself into our bed first thing. He is great company during the day and rotates between entertaining himself, napping and may occasionally make a public appearance on his foster dad's work calls. His favorite outdoor activities include a car or boat ride, a bucket of balls, warm weather and unlimited fetch. He's also been known to make a pillow fort or two before settling in for bedtime. It's recommended I meet any kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.I need to be the only pet. I'm not comfortable sharing my space or my stuff with other animals. I prefer to be the center of attention! Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 50 Age: 7yrs 4mths 2wks
