Story
Meet Cody! This adorable Rat Terrier/Chihuahua Mix boy was surrendered to a shelter along with his littermates. It is suspected that they came from a backyard breeder, and unfortunately the puppies were not socialized. Because of that, Cody is a timid, frightened little pup who is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place.Cody is initially afraid of other dogs, people and loud noises. He is currently living in a foster home where he is slowly learning about life as a family companion dog. With patience, kindness, and understanding, Cody has the potential to blossom into the fun, happy little dog he was always meant to be.Cody will need an adopter who can move at his pace and help him build confidence through positive experiences and gentle reassurance. Watching a shy puppy learn to trust can be incredibly rewarding, and Cody deserves a family willing to give him that chance. If you have room in your heart and home to help this adorable puppy grow and thrive, please submit an adoption application online at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.

Story
**Sweet 8-Year-Old Boston Terrier/Rat Terrier Mix Looking for His Forever Home** We are looking for a loving new home for our 8-year-old Boston Terrier/Rat Terrier mix, and this is an incredibly difficult decision for our family. He is a very sweet, affectionate boy who loves adults, cuddling, getting pets, and being close to his people. He has never shown aggression toward us as his owners, and he has lived peacefully with our other small dog and cat. Unfortunately, he has recently bitten our toddler, and because we have a young child in our home, we no longer feel that we can safely keep him. We want to be completely transparent about this so that he can find a home that is a better fit for his needs. He can be nervous and reactive around unfamiliar dogs, so he would likely do best as the only dog or with a carefully matched, dog-savvy companion. We believe he would thrive in a quiet home with adults or older, respectful children.

Story
Lucas is a shy boy at first. Once he gets to know you, he is very happy to see you and loves to play with his ball. His is still wary whenever you touch him if he does not expect it. With the right amount of time and love he is a great companion. Lucas was found outside a school several months ago; he is learning that he is safe from having to fend for himself on the streets. He is also getting used to not marking in the house, but with belly bands and continued reinforcement we know he will learn and get better. He is also learning not to guard his toys. We do slow introductions with some dogs over and will continue to keep his profile updated on his progress. We are so happy we could save him from the shelter and give him a second chance at life, he is just a wonderful boy. He was recently moved to a different foster home where he will get exposure to more pets and some consistent walks and work on desensitization to stimuli that he has found alarming.

Story
Meet this sweet little Chihuahua girl, whose world changed far too soon. For the first year of her life, she was the beloved companion of an elderly woman, spending her days safely indoors, loved and cared for. When her owner had to move into a nursing home, this tiny girl lost the only home she had ever known. For about a month afterward, she lived in a crate in a garage while waiting for someone to be able to take her in. She just celebrated her very first birthday in a foster home. Because of her sheltered beginning, she never had the chance to learn many of the things most puppies experience. She's been discovering the world from the very beginning—learning how to walk on a leash, understanding house training, meeting new people, and building confidence one small step at a time. She has come so far in such a short time! Despite everything she's been through, she has a gentle heart and a willingness to trust. Every day she becomes a little braver, a little more curious, and a little more confident. Watching her discover toys, enjoy walks, and experience the simple joys of being a dog has been incredibly rewarding. She absolutely adores her toys and playtime! She will thrive with an understanding family that will celebrate her progress and let her continue to blossom at her own pace. In return, she'll offer unwavering loyalty, quiet companionship, and the kind of gratitude that only comes from a dog who's been given a second chance. If you're looking for a fun & playful companion whose best days are still ahead of her, she may be the perfect addition to your family!
