About Misty

Start your journey together! Apply now. Misty is a sweet older puppy who has blossomed in her loving foster home, eagerly waiting for her forever family. Born on July 20, Misty is a Siberian Husky/mixed breed with a playful spirit and growing confidence. Her foster mom has ensured she’s crate and mostly potty trained, and she thrives with other dogs—having a dog companion in her new home is required to help her feel secure. Misty is already spayed, vaccinated, parasite-free, and microchipped for a healthy start. This energetic pup needs an experienced adopter dedicated to the unique needs of husky breeds. She’s best suited for a home with a fenced yard of at least 6 feet, another friendly dog, and someone who is home often to provide the time and commitment huskies require. Continued positive reinforcement training, social outings, and ample exercise will help Misty become a well-mannered, confident companion. Fun fact: born under the sign of Leo, Misty has plenty of playful and loyal energy to share. Potential adopters must live within 60 miles of Carrollton. Give Misty the fresh start she deserves—she's ready to begin her next chapter with you! This could be the start of something paw-some.
