Story
This 3-year-old Keeshond/Border Collie mix is so sweet and snuggly! Mishka, meaning "little bear", is the cutest, rollie-polliest dog ever. Currently 52 pounds (and working on shedding some extra weight), she enjoys the simple pleasures in life—cuddling, napping, playing in the snow, and giving kisses. Mishka is sure to make you smile, whether it’s her adorable butt sway when she walks (SO sassy), her habit of sleeping on her back like a person, or her comical attempts to sniff snow without getting it up her nose. Mishka has come a long way from her rough beginnings, and has blossomed into a total lovebug and the perfect couch companion.While initially quite nervous at her new foster home, she still loved cuddles and adjusted quite well to her new routine with a little extra love. She is house-trained and lets you know when she needs to go outside. She’s also crate-trained and can be convinced to settle in with the promise of a treat, staying calm and quiet once inside. While she’s a self-proclaimed couch potato, Mishka enjoys running around the yard and doesn’t require a lot of exercise beyond some outdoor playtime and occasional walks.She is VERY dog friendly, and loves having playdates with family members' dogs. She gets along well with cats as well! She recently stayed with another foster for a short period in a home with a cat, and she did great! Of course, she will need a proper introduction to new dog and cat friends, but there are no concerns. Mishka has a gentle personality that makes her great with kids, and she’s been wonderful with the children she’s met. Mishka is still working on her confidence so she prefers to be with her humans as much as possible. A home with a resident dog already may help her with this, but is not required.Mishka is ready to be your devoted cuddle buddy and bring love into your life!

Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%.
