Story
Sweet Mistletoe came into the rescue after being surrendered by a puppy mill breeder in Ohio.  She is 5 year old and weighs about 11lbs.  Mistletoe has learned how wonderful it is to live in a home and that people give you love and affection.  She is finally a little more accepting of the attention. She can still bel nervous around new people, but warms up if she is allowed to approach.  Mistletoe likes to have her person in sight or the other pups. This sweet girl gets scared if people or kids grab at her so older children that can appreciate her boundaries would work best.  Mistletoe takes her cues from her foster pup siblings and has learned to go outside to potty.  She sleeps in her foster's bedroom in her crate with the door open.  It helps her feel comfortable that she can see her fosters. When her fosters' go to work,  Mistletoe has free reign of the house with her foster canine siblings.  She loves to "collect" things in her crate.  Her foster is working on basic commands since she is treat motivated.  Car rides are still a little scary, but she is doing better.  Mistletoe requires a PHYSICAL FENCE and another confident playmate. Her Spay date is 2/18/25. If you are interested in MIstletoe,  please fill out an application on the website.  Her adoption is $400 which goes toward her medical care, spay and her foster care expenses. ##2251819##
