About Misty

Misty is a 7-month-old Mastiff mix with a confident and curious streak. Found wandering on Patterson Road in Riverbank, she’s still waiting to see if her family comes for her, but if not, she’ll be ready for a new home starting March 6th. Misty stands out with her striking black and white coat and sleek, short fur. At this age, she’s energetic and learning the ropes, so her adopter should be ready to guide her into adulthood. She currently isn’t house trained and may need patience and consistency to get there. Misty gets along well with other dogs but doesn’t do well with cats, so a feline-free household is ideal. With her background as a stray, she’ll do best with structure and gentle encouragement. Her adoption fee is sponsored. Your new best friend is just one click away.
