About Misty Mistique

Misty Mistique—call her Mystique or Misty, the name hasn't quite settled yet—stands out in a crowd. She has one startlingly blue eye (so pale it’s nearly white), the other a warm brown. Her short coat is mostly black, but her feet show off cattle dog markings, and her tall, alert ears might hint at some shepherd heritage. She’s on the small side, a couple of years old at most, and won’t get much bigger. Athletic and full of energy, Mystique is always up for action. She gets along with other dogs and moves with confidence. Her story started rough: found as a stray after having her pups under a porch and ending up at the shelter. She’s never known what home or love feel like. She is scheduled for a spay soon and is waiting for her first real chance at comfort and belonging. Ready to fall in love?
