Unlike many dogs, Misty thrives in a calm environment, preferring the comfort of a cozy couch over the hustle and bustle of busy days.

Since arriving at the shelter, Misty has slowly opened up, transforming from a timid girl to a loving companion eager for trust and belonging. Her ideal home is a quiet one, ideally with a single adult or a calm couple, where predictable routines help her feel secure.
