Story
Hi there! I’m Milo, a sweet little senior guy who’s ready to find a loving home to spend my golden years. I’ve got a gentle, affectionate personality and love nothing more than being close to my people and enjoying the simple things in life. I do have a few medical considerations, including limited vision in one eye, a history of IVDD, and some occasional nighttime accidents. There’s also a possibility of early kidney changes, so I’ll do best with a home that can keep fresh water and wet food available and help me stay on top of my health with a veterinarian. I may need a little extra care, but I have so much love to give in return. If you’re looking for a kind-hearted companion to share quiet moments and lots of cuddles, I might be the Milo for you!

Story
If you’re looking for a dog who will shower you with kisses and endless affection, Simba is the perfect match. I’ve had him since he was just 2 months old, and he has grown into a loving, adventurous, curious, playful, and independent dog.He is crate-trained, not a picky eater, and very adaptable. After his walks and meals, he usually goes into his crate on his own until it’s time to play, go for another walk, or eat againIt truly breaks my heart to have to rehome him due to ongoing changes in my schedule. Simba gets along well with both kids and adults and would make a wonderful addition to any family. He is also very protective of the people he loves

Story
Shep is 6 years old and full of energy. He has been with me for 4 years. He loves to play fetch and tug of war with a blanket. He likes long walks and rides in the car. He sleeps quietly all night in his cage. He does not like to be around other dogs but has learned to live with a cat. He needs a new home where he gets lots of attention and can be the center of attention. He loves to play with children but probably fits best with adults.

Scar is a quiet and playful dog who enjoys a calm lifestyle and doesn’t require much activity. He loves relaxing on the couch or spending time in his crate. I’ve had Scar since he was 6 months old, and it’s very difficult for me to let him go. Unfortunately, due to constant changes in my schedule, I’m unable to give him the time and attention he truly deserves.Scar is very affectionate and does well with both kids and adults. He is not a picky eater and is fully crate-trained. He enjoys returning to his crate after his daily walks and meals.

Story
Meet Bitsy, a darling 7-year-old, 7-pound Maltese who is ready to begin the next—and best—chapter of her life. After spending her years as a puppy mill breeding dog, Bitsy is now discovering what it truly means to be loved. Unlike many dogs from similar backgrounds, Bitsy is wonderfully social and outgoing. She thrives on human attention and is happiest when she’s curled up in a warm lap, soaking up affection. True to her breed, she’s the perfect little companion. Now in a caring Misty Eyes foster home, Bitsy is learning all the things she missed out on before—like being part of a family. She’s a smart girl who picks things up quickly, making her a joy to work with despite her lack of prior training.Bitsy is ready to trade her past for a future filled with love, comfort, and companionship. Because she`s a former puppy mill dog and is not accustomed to being leash-walked for potty breaks, we would prefer that Bitsy`s new home have a securely fenced yard where she can free roam safely. If you have room in your heart and home for this sweet little girl, please submit an adoption application at: https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
Ellie is 4-5 years old, I adopted her about 2 1/2 years ago from a couple that raised her in a cat taxi until I got her. So, she is great with open fenced or soft sided enclosures but panics if you attempt to place her is a taxi. She is loving and sits next to my daughter most of the day. She loves her treats and I have been working on the weight but I think most of it related to lack of exercise. She will take time to go during if you want to go in walks heat is a difficult obstacle her so time and patients will be needed. If she gets too excited and bring one of the braco breeds she can snort catching her breath and just needs to be talked softly to calm her. She will come with her stuffed animals she knows as her babies and likes to lay on them if she feels insecure. Rabies tag/UTD vaccines, comes with remaining monthly heartworm parasite prevention and 3 months flea tick etc pills. I am moving and does not allow dogs. I need someone to love her. Knows pee pads as I am disabled.
