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.November 4, 2024, 1:31 pm

Highlights:-Needs confident, canine sibling-Needs fenced-in yardMeet Macy, a 10-pound Maltese Chihuahua Poodle mix whose journey from shyness to spunk is nothing short of inspiring. When she first arrived, Macy was very shy and nervous, but she is growing more confident every day as she learns that her new environment is safe and kind.Macy will need some time to warm up to people, but with patience and love, she will surely come around. She would greatly benefit from having a more confident dog in her new adoptive home to show her the ropes and help her build her own confidence. As she does not walk on a leash yet, a fenced yard is essential to keep her safe.This spunky little girl isn`t afraid to tell you what she wants and has the cutest little elf ears that seem independent from her body, turning around like satellite dishes to take in every ounce of her environment. Macy is one of the cutest dogs you`ll ever see, and her charming personality is sure to win you over.Are you ready to offer Macy the loving and patient home she needs? This adorable pup is eager to find her forever family and share her unique blend of sweetness and spunk.- - - - -Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization. As a result, there is often an adjustment period when learning about life as a family pet. We typically do not adopt to homes with young children. Homes with older children will be considered on an individual basis. Common skills such as house training and leash walking will often take a little extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, most of these dogs come around rather quickly and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.

Story
Meet Blaze, a 10-pound Maltese who came to us a little shy but is quickly discovering that humans can be kind, gentle, and full of tasty treats! Treats just might be the way to Blaze’s heart. He’s becoming more comfortable with being picked up, though he can still be a little squirmy, so he’ll need a family that’s patient and can help him feel secure.Blaze does well around other dogs but prefers those who respect his personal space. A calm dog friend would be a perfect match for him, though he’d be just as happy being the only dog in the home. With his peaceful nature, Blaze seems destined for quiet strolls in serene forests or peaceful walks through a calm neighborhood.He’s learning to walk on a leash and, once he masters it, will surely enjoy making it one of his favorite pastimes. Blaze loves exploring the world, taking in all the sniffs he can during playgroup. He’s looking for a calm and patient family who will give him the time and love he needs to continue growing in confidence. Could that family be yours?- - - - -Before being rescued, many of our dogs have had limited socialization, so they may need a bit of time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog`s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

HIGHLIGHTS:Needs another dog in the homeNeeds a fenced-in backyardNeeds a quiet homeMeet Sparkle, a delicate 7-pound Maltese who’s a bit reserved and prefers to observe from a safe distance rather than dive into direct interactions. Right now, she’s more comfortable watching humans rather than approaching them, but treats might just be the key to unlocking her trust. Sparkle tends to pace, a gentle sign of her unease, but we know that with time, patience, and love, she will start to settle and find her peace.In playgroups, she enjoys the company of other dogs but remains on the outskirts, soaking in the scene. Sparkle needs a calm, understanding family who will let her grow at her own pace. A confident dog companion in her new home would be a wonderful guide for her, helping her learn to trust and feel secure. Since she’s not yet leash trained, she’ll need a secure fenced yard to explore safely. Sparkle has a tender heart waiting to bloom; all she needs is a patient family to let her shine.- - - - -Before being rescued, many of our dogs have had limited socialization, so they may need a bit of time to adjust to life as a family pet.
