Story
Meet Misty — a playful, curious 9-year-old possible soft coated Wheaton Terrier /Schnauzer mix ready for her forever home!
This sassy, smart, happy, easy going, independent gal loves her people and enjoys being part of the action. She may seem timid at first, but after you throw her favorite toy (her squeaky ball), or give her ear scratches, she warms up right away. She will play fetch all day if you let her! She also likes being frequently brushed. A family that’s home often or can include her in daily life would make her happiest.
Misty walks on leash eagerly exploring, finding new smells and going potty along the way. She also rides beautifully tethered in the back seat. She is quickly learning to sit, stay and give paw. She can also be a bit of a fashionista! A securely fenced yard would be ideal for her to safely explore and stretch her legs (and play fetch!).
Misty has some IVDD (intervertebral disc disease), which causes a bit of weakness in her back legs, but she gets around just fine and enjoys her walks, playtime, and exploring the yard. She has to take it slow going up and down stairs, but she continues to gain strength in her back legs every day! She does need someone who can gently encourage her continued activities to build her confidence and her back and leg strength.
Misty’s story began in a Texas shelter, where she spent about a month before coming into rescue. During that time, she lost weight and battled kennel cough. She also had surgery to remove some mammary chain tumors and a tumor near the base of her tail– all of which were luckily benign!
Thankfully, she’s made a full recovery and is thriving now — healthy, happy, and weighing 27 lbs. She eats from a slow-feed bowl and gets three small meals a day to help her maintain a healthy weight and routine. She does shed a little bit and is not hypoallergenic.
After everything she’s overcome, Misty is ready to find her forever family — one that will appreciate her resilient spirit, loyal heart, and joyful personality.
