Story

thoroughly read descriptionMeet Ducky, an adorable 9-pound,3-year-old, Maltese with a personality as lively as his name suggests! Ducky joined the Misfits Dog Rescue in December 2023 after being surrendered to a shelter due to some behavioral challenges. Since then, we’ve been working hard with him, and while he’s made significant progress, he still has a bit of a spicy streak. Ducky is a little dynamo who absolutely loves playing fetch and would excel in agility training. He’s clever and eager to learn, although he does have a bit of trouble focusing at times. He’s also made great strides with his barking—he’s much quieter now and no longer as frantic as he used to be. One of Ducky’s key characteristics is his dominant nature. While he’s improved and gets along well with most dogs, he can occasionally be a bit of a bully. He’ll do best with an experienced owner who can provide consistent training and set clear boundaries. Potty training is still a work in progress for Ducky, partly because the shelter environment isn’t ideal for this type of training. However, he wears belly bands comfortably, which helps manage any accidents. Ducky would thrive in a home where he’s the only pet and where someone is around frequently to work with him. Despite his quirks, Ducky is incredibly cute, spunky, and full of personality. He’s friendly but can be protective due to his dominant nature, so it’s important that he knows you’re the boss. Ducky is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and chipped. If you think Ducky might be the perfect match for you, please visit www.misfitsdogrescue.org to learn more about adopting him.December 12, 2024, 6:53 pm

Story

Please read description Meet Fritz! This sweet 8-year-old Beagle mix may have a few special needs, but he’s still full of love and ready to be your loyal companion. Fritz is deaf, has cloudy eyes, and is living with elevated kidney levels and arthritis in his hips and back legs. Despite these challenges, he gets around just fine and would love to follow you everywhere as your devoted shadow. Fritz enjoys being outside, and every now and then, he gets a burst of energy and trots around with joy. He’s comfortable navigating stairs, uses a pet door, and goes potty outside. While he does sleep a lot, he still has plenty of love to give, especially when it comes to neck scratches! Currently on a special kidney diet and pain medication for arthritis, Fritz is a calm and easy-going 36-pound pup who just needs a soft landing for his golden years. Sadly, he was abandoned during the holidays, but he’s ready to give his heart to a family that will cherish him for the rest of his days. Please consider making Fritz a part of your family. We’re asking for a $150 adoption fee to help with his care. Let’s make sure Fritz has a warm home and a wonderful Christmas! Apply at www.misfitsdogrescue.org December 12, 2024, 7:16 pm

Story

HONEYDEW IS BEING WITHDRAWN FROM ADOPTABLE DOGS WHILE HE IS HAVING SOME ADJUSTMENT ISSUES. HE IS IN THE LOVING ARMS OF HIS FOSTER MOM FOR NOW. THIS SHELTIE IS A PUPPY MILL SURVIVOR. IT WILL TAKE TIME AND PATIENCE FOR HIM TO BEHAVE LIKE A "REAL DOG." IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR THE PATIENCE, PLEASE LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR A DOG. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MOPRE ABOUT UNDERSOCIALIZED DOGS AND HOW TO HELP THEM REHAB, YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. A COMPLETED APPLICATION OS OUR FIRST STEP TOWARD FOSTERING OR ADOPTING. YOU WILL FIND IT ON OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org. If you are happy and you know it...you must be Honeydew! Honeydew is a 3-year-old intact male sable and white Sheltie. (HE WILL BE NEUTERED VERY SOON. WE PAY FOR IT AND IT IS NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION.) In spite of him coming from a puppy mill, he is a cheerful little fellow. He is light-boned and dances when he walks. He does not walk far on a leash and needs slow encouragement not to be frightened. He eats like a champ and will even take a treat from my hand. He especially likes one of our volunteers and when Susan pulled into the driveway today, he got as brave as he could and walked right up to her. (If you heard celebrating, that is what that was about.) Honeydew is UTD on all his vaccines and is microchipped with a Home Again chip that will be activated when he finds his forever family. His bloodwork is fine and he is Heartworm negative. All of that is well and good, as they say. But you are looking at a long process of loving kindness to help this little dude be all he can be. Agility perhaps???? If you really understand all of this and are still on board....let's talk.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 5, 2024, 10:57 pm

Story

A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS OUR FIRST STEP TOWARD ANY PLACEMENT. PLEASE READ ABOUT THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTION ON OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org AND THEN COMPLETE THE ONLINE APP. WE WILL CALL YOU FOR A PHONE INTERVIEW IF YOU SEEM LIKE A GREAT POTENTIAL MATCH FOR THE DOG YOU HAVE APPLIED FOR. "Ruby" is truly a gem! She is a 5-year-old spayed female rough Collie/ Australian Shepherd mix that has all the best qualities of both breeds. Her blue merle coloring is striking and her coat is shorter and more Aussie-ish and easy to care for. She is housebroken and obedience trained with basic commands. Her first outing after grooming was to go to Big R, a local farm and ranch store that welcomes RMCSR dogs. As we entered the store, we heard a child crying. A darling little girl with curly hair and a face wet with tears, clutching her mother's leg. I approached and asked if a dog might help and the mother said yes. Ruby and I moved forward, with Ruby slowly moving into an embrace with the kiddo. I wish I could have captured that moment. A couple of minutes later, the little girl walked off with her mom to finish their shopping, still wiping her tears but with a tentative smile on her face. I told her we would be in the store for a little while if she needed to hug Ruby again. As I said, Ruby is truly a gem! As we begin the search for the perfect match for this remarkable dog, some things seem important to acknowledge. Ruby needs kids in her life. She could have some kiddos of her own in her forever family. She could have grandchildren that visit frequently. She could even become a therapy dog and have children in her life in all kinds of different ways. Reading to children in a library setting. Children's hospitals welcome human/canine teams that learn appropriate behavior with sick kids. But Ruby deserves to be part of a loving family that will believe they are lucky to have her. Ruby is spayed, UTD on vaccines, heartworm negative and has great bloodwork. She is ready to choose the humans to spend the next 10 years with. Ruby will be screening the applications along with our Director. She is ready to love you.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 5, 2024, 10:37 pm
