Misty is a precious 2-year-old Chihuahua/Manchester Terrier mix weighing just 11 pounds. She is a sweet, quiet, shy little girl at first but once settled she is spunky and playful.

 

She loves sitting next to her person on the couch or snuggling on the bed, and once she trusts you, you get to see the sweet little dog hiding underneath all that fear.

She is very playful with the other dogs and barks to instigate play. It’s been so wonderful to watch her come out of her shell over the last month.

 

Misty had an incredibly difficult start. After being surrendered to the county shelter by her owner along with her brother, she was absolutely terrified. She became very defensive in her cage and was placed on the euthanasia list. A rescue came for her brother but left Misty behind, which only made her fear and confusion worse.

That’s when I got the call to help her. It took her 2 days to adjust but I’ve had no issues with her at all and she did great at the vet being handled as well.

 

Misty’s ideal home:

• Another small dog she can play with

• No small children

• A securely fenced yard

• A quiet, predictable home

• Someone with patience to let her adjust and a lot of love to give

 

Misty is fully vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped. Approved adopters get a two-week trial before making the adoption official.
