Misty Story

Misty is a beloved favorite among the shelter staff and volunteers. Her sweet and friendly nature makes her an absolute delight to be around. She’s not just a pretty face; Misty is playful, intelligent, and incredibly affectionate. She loves people and forms strong bonds with those who spend time with her. She would rather be the only dog in the home so she can get the love all to herself. We would prefer no small children for her as well and a home without cats. Her foster Mom says that Misty is smart and knows some basic commands. Misty’s warm and outgoing personality is sure to bring joy to her forever family. Misty is about 2 years old and 43 pounds. Please help this loving girl find her forever home.

From Misty’s Foster Mom: Misty is truly such a good girl. She is good with my cat, she doesn’t bother her. She is so eager to please and a great listener, we are surprised at how polite she actually is. She loves to curl up with her stuffies and just be with you. She also loves to go on runs and is so much fun and just adores whoever she picks as her person. If it were up to Misty she would just be hugging everyone all day long.

Update: Misty had tested positive for the common tick borne Lyme’s/Anaplasmosis/Ehrlichia. She has already completed her course of treatment and feeling great. Misty is ready to go home with some lucky family!

Things to Consider

The fact that you’re thinking about adopting from an animal shelter means you’re a responsible and caring person. But BEFORE you make that decision to bring a furry friend into your life, take a moment to think over these questions:

Why do you want a pet?

It's amazing how many people fail to ask themselves this simple question before they get a pet. Adopting a pet just because it's "the thing to do" or because the kids have been pining for a puppy usually ends up being a big mistake. Don't forget that pets may be with you 10, 15, even 20 years.

Do you have time for a pet?

Dogs, cats, and other animal companions cannot be ignored just because you're tired or busy. They require food, water, exercise, care, and companionship every day of every year. Many animals in the shelter are there because their owners didn't realize how much time it took to care for them.

Can you afford a pet?

The costs of pet ownership can be quite high. Licenses, training classes, spaying and neutering, veterinary care, grooming, toys, food, kitty litter, and other expenses add up quickly.

Are you prepared to deal with special problems that a pet can cause?

Flea infestations, scratched-up furniture, accidents from animals who aren't yet housetrained, and unexpected medical emergencies are unfortunate but common aspects of pet ownership.

Can you have a pet where you live?

Many rental communities don't allow pets, and most of the rest have restrictions. Make sure you know what they are before you bring a companion animal home.

Is it a good time for you to adopt a pet?

If you have kids under six years old, for instance, you might consider waiting a few years before you adopt a companion. Pet ownership requires children who are mature enough to be responsible. If you're a student, in the military, or travel frequently as part of your work, waiting until you settle down is wise.

Are your living arrangements suitable for the animal you have in mind?

Animal size is not the only variable to think about here. For example, some small dogs such as terriers are very active-they require a great deal of exercise to be calm, and they often bark at any noise. On the other hand, some big dogs are laid back and quite content to lie on a sofa all day. Before adopting a pet, do some research. That way, you'll ensure you choose an animal who will fit into your lifestyle and your living arrangements.

Do you know who will care for your pet while you're away on vacation?

You'll need either reliable friends and neighbors or money to pay for a boarding kennel or pet-sitting service.

Will you be a responsible pet owner?

Having your pet spayed or neutered, obeying community leash and licensing laws, and keeping identification tags on your pets are all part of being a responsible owner. Of course, giving your pet love, companionship, exercise, a healthy diet, and regular veterinary care are other essentials.

Finally, are you prepared to keep and care for the pet for his or her entire lifetime?

When you adopt a pet, you are making a commitment to care for the animal for his or her lifetime.
