Story
Meet Mister 💙 Mister is a small dog with a big heart who is just beginning to discover how wonderful life can be. He came to us severely matted, but after a much-needed makeover, he’s feeling so much better and ready to start his next chapter. Mister is a nervous guy and is looking for a dog-experienced adult home where he can feel safe and supported. Because of his rough past, he can be unsure about handling at first, but with patience, kindness, and respect for his boundaries, he continues to gain confidence every day. Treats and toys are the way to Mister’s heart! With their help, he’s warming up to new people quickly and learning that humans can be gentle, loving, and fun. Once he’s comfortable, Mister shows his true personality — an active, playful, and very cuddly little guy who loves to be close to his people. Mister just needs a patient, understanding home that will give him the time and space he needs to blossom into the happy companion he’s meant to be. The reward? A loyal best friend who will love you deeply. 🐾 Mister will be neutered on Tuesday, 1/6, and will be ready to go home after that.
