Sadies Dog Rescue are up against the clock with sweet Misty as her kennels close in mid-December and their only other option is for her to return to their shelter in Romania. She desperately needs a loving home, or even a foster home, to call her own. She is currently in kennels in Manchester but can be homed anywhere in the U.K. following successful meet and greets at the kennel.
Misty is about 8 years old, neutered and a small/medium Crossbreed. She was surrendered to the rescue after her owner’s circumstances changed after 4 years as their loyal girl. She is a timid, gentle, little girl who is very reactive to strangers, though she is being gently introduced to different people at the kennels and she didn’t react to a visiting rescue volunteer at all. She is definitely wary, but is happy to take treats. She’s very well-mannered and takes them very nicely.
Misty is house-trained, walks beautifully on the lead, loves a good sniff, but doesn’t pull and happily carries on walking when asked. She has passed quite a few other dogs on walks and again, she was wary, but didn’t react at all, just carried on walking past. She travels well in the car and can be left home alone for a few hours without issue.
Misty is looking for an experienced home in a quiet household with one or two people who will give her time and space to let her get used to her new family and routine, and maybe continue with some gentle, slow socialisation with new people when Misty has settled in.
Misty needs to be the only pet in the home where any children are 18+ years old. As a guardian breed, work will need to be done to ensure Misty’s loyalty and love for her owner doesn’t extend to reactive protectiveness which it has done in the past. The rescue will support with a training/behaviour package at the start of the adoption if required.
