Story
Our lil' Misty girl is having a very hard time in the shelter environment. Her increased stress is leading to interactions not showing her amazing self to interested adopters. Her increased stress is causing her skin to flare-up which is undoubtedly uncomfortable for her. We have her on antibiotics and are switching her diet to determine what she possibly may be allergic to. Living here is proving to be extremely difficult for her. Which breaks our hearts because we have seen how much fun and how sweet and loving Misty can be. We are looking for a foster or a foster-to-adopt home. She will need someone who can be meticulous with her food intake and only feed her what we provide. Our vet team is determined to figure out what can help this lil' dollface succeed. Misty's ideal home would be one where there are only adults. She loves to be near everyone but the hustle and bustle that kiddos can bring isn't her cup of tea. A home with minimal commotion is ideal. Once she knows you, she is a bundle of joy and fun! She is a lap dog. When we have her up in the office, Misty finds an open spot with one of us and hangs out in their arms while they type away. Please just be patient when meeting her; she does come around and will befriend new people! Playing with squeaky toys is one of her favorite things to do, aside from cuddling. She has the cutest zoomies where she scoots so low to the ground and runs all over. Another fun thing for her is to burrow in blankets and give kisses to those she knows. Misty would prefer a home without kitty friends. She is a smaller gal who likes to be the queen gal when it comes to other dog friends. We've seen her co-exist nicely with shelter dogs who give her space when she asks for it and who have a "really-don't-care-about-much" type of personality. We do think she'd be totally fine to have it be just her without other furry friends so she can have all your love to herself! Misty is a little under six years old, is spayed, and is about 13-pounds. To foster her, please fill out the application found here: https://michianapets.org/get-involved/foster. If you are an approved foster, please give us a call us at 219-872-4499 if you can help Misty.
