Misty is a medium-sized, adult mixed breed dog with a short, soft coat that comes in white, cream, and tan shades. She’s been spayed, is current on her vaccinations, and appears to be housetrained. Misty is sweet-natured and healthy aside from a surgically repaired back leg that causes a slight limp, which doesn’t stop her from playing and running. She’s currently at The Humane Society of Searcy, eagerly waiting to meet her new family.

About Misty

Your new best friend is just one click away. Misty is a wonderful 1-year-old mixed breed dog who weighs about 51 pounds. She is gentle, sweet, and incredibly affectionate, making her an ideal companion for those seeking a loyal and loving canine friend. Misty quickly charms everyone she meets with her playful spirit—she especially loves chasing and romping around with other dogs. Although Misty came to the shelter after her back left leg was surgically repaired from a break, she doesn't let her slight limp slow her down. She still enjoys running and exploring, and she adjusts beautifully to her new circumstances. She is otherwise in great health, is heartworm negative, and has been spayed. At adoption, she will also be microchipped for her safety. Misty seems to be housetrained and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard or access to a large, safe property where she can play and exercise daily. She truly loves her time outdoors and will be happiest with space to move freely. Ready to welcome a playful, gentle, and sociable dog into your heart? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
