Story
Posted 6/30/2025 Please read the entire description before contacting us. Thank you so much! Ace was found as a stray near a vet office. No one claimed him and so one of the veterinarians decided to take him home. Unfortunately Ace is reactive with most members of the family and it was deceided that he would be better off in a household with no children. We don't know what happened to this pup. He is definitely fearful and standoffish with people he does not know. He does bite when you try to trim the hair in his face and snaps when he feels threatened. It is possible that he had a bad experiencey while he was groomed as he freaks out and bites when you try to put a muzzle on. Ace has to be fully sedated at a vet office to be groomed. We believe that with the right human who is patient and willing to work with him for a period of time, Ace's behavior can improve significantly. He most likely will have to always be sedated for grooming though. Ace is about 2 years old, vaccinated, neutered, tested for heartworm and he is on heartworm/flea prevention. He is sweet but fearful and needs to be approached carefully. He takes a while to warm up. He is house broken and very good in the car. He also walks well on a leasd. For Ace we are looking for people who understand his behavior and who are willing to work with him on losing his fear and become a happy dog. For Ace we are looking for need a calm and quiet home with a securely fenced in yard, no children at all. Ace generally gets along with other dogs if they are little. It would be best though if he could be an only pet. If you are up to the challenge and interested in adopting Ace please fill out an adoption application on our web site. Email us if you have any questions or if you don't hear from us within 48 hours of sending an adoption application.

Story
If you took adorable and put it in a fluffy little 4-legged package, it would be Jinx! This guy came to Rescue as a result of mistreatment elsewhere. He had some dkin issues and wasn't neutered, but those things are all treated, and Jinx is well on his way yo being a very healthy guy. Jinx likes his food and treats snd responds well to training with a treat. He is protective of his belongings. He would be better in an adult home, He walks well on a leash and enjoys walks. He is fairly well house trained. He is vaccinated and microchipped, and scheduled for a neuter and dental cleaning. He seeks affection and wants to be your buddy. He qualifies for seniors for seniors, and please consider his grooming needs when applying.

Story
Meet Larry, a charming 12-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix who’s ready to bring warmth and joy into your home! Weighing in at around 14 pounds, this sweet, mature gentleman is not just a pretty face; he’s a friendly, easy-going companion who thrives on human affection and gets along well with other small dogs. Found as a stray and brought to Misty Eyes by a kind-hearted samaritan, Larry is now on a quest for his forever home after his microchip led to a dead end. Having passed his stray hold, this lovable pooch is eager to settle down in a peaceful environment where he can enjoy his golden years. With good health for his age and good potty habits once he learns your routine, Larry is ready to be the perfect addition to your family. If you can open your heart and home to Larry, we invite you to submit your adoption application at https://www.mistyeyes.org/adoptionapplication.
