Mishka's Story

AGE: 4 years<br/><br/>SEX: Female<br/><br/>BREED: Bully Mix<br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL: Medium-High<br/><br/>DOG FRIENDLY: Yep!<br/><br/>CAT FRIENDLY?: Untested<br/><br/>KID FRIENDLY?: Untested - child free home preferred<br/><br/>FOSTER IG: @chiweenie.eevee<br/><br/>Meet Mishka! Mishka is a sweet, intelligent, and incredibly lovable girl who has blossomed so much as she has settled into foster care. Once she feels safe with someone, she is a total love bug who loves cuddles, belly rubs, and being close to her people. She has a wonderfully goofy side, too, with backyard zoomies that involve running, hopping, and the occasional barrel roll. Mishka is medium-high energy and loves getting out for multiple walks, exploring the neighbourhood, and playing in the backyard. She can also be surprisingly chill and is happy to settle while her people work.<br/><br/>Mishka is a smart girl who is eager to learn and has already made great progress with her training. She is house trained, loves her crate, and can comfortably be left home alone for a full workday. She knows sit and wait and is working on down and impulse control during play. She is doing especially well on leash and is a wonderful loose-leash walker in her neighbourhood, staying engaged with her person and enjoying plenty of time to sniff and explore. She is generally calm and neutral when passing other dogs and has shown very little interest in small animals. She may do well living with another dog around her size or larger, provided they have a compatible energy level and appropriate introductions.<br/><br/>Mishka is still learning about the world and needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people and situations. She is particularly nervous around men and can be wary if someone approaches her directly or enters her space too quickly, but she has made huge progress with the men in her foster home and is increasingly choosing to interact with them on her own. She can also be cautious in unfamiliar environments or when she feels confined, so a patient adopter who allows her to explore at her own pace will be important. A quieter neighbourhood would be ideal, although she has spent time downtown and could potentially adapt to a busier environment with time. Mishka is such a special girl—loyal, affectionate, clever, and just the right amount of goofy—and watching her confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding. Once she knows you're one of her people, she has so much love to give.<br/><br/>Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Mishka?

New Collar Collective's Adoption Policy
ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Complete and submit an adoption application. All applications will be screened, and applicants will receive an email response letting you know whether your application has been approved to move to the next step in our process or not. If you have not received a response from us, first check your spam/junk folder before sending us an email. 2. You will be asked to submit two personal references, and a vet reference where applicable, as part of our process. Please make sure to let them know that they may be contacted by one of our volunteers. Veterinarian clinics will require your permission to share any information with our team. 3. A phone interview will be scheduled with one of our adoption coordinators via email or phone. 4. Your adoption coordinator will connect with one of our volunteers to schedule a home visit. Home visits will be completed virtually or in-person depending on available resources. If a virtual home visit is completed and there are any outstanding questions or concerns, New Collar Collective reserves the right to do a follow up (in person) home visit. Volunteers conducting virtual home visits will be required to direct the home visit so we are assured they have seen all areas of the home. Volunteers conducting in-person home visits will be encouraged to bring a friend along for their safety. In this case, you will be notified in advance. 5. A meet & greet will be coordinated with the animal’s foster. All members of the household (including dogs) will be required to attend the meet and greet. 6. Post meet & greet If there are no further questions or concerns, applicants will contact their adoption’s coordinator to let them know if they would like to move forward with the adoption. Adopters will be contacted to provide all contract requirements. ADOPTION POLICIES The policies outlined below are guidelines and there may be instances where an exception can be made upon the agreement of the adoption management/Board of Directors. Periodically, New Collar Collective will revisit these guidance policies to ensure they still meet the intended needs of the rescue. We do not adopt to applicants who live outside of our adoption radius. We do not ship dogs. Adopters are responsible for picking up their newly adopted pet. All pets in your household must be spayed and neutered. All pets in your household must be up to date with mandatory vaccinations. We do not allow applicants to test out a cat/dog before adoption. We expect that applicants will take the necessary time to meet with the dog or cat, talk with the foster, and ask lots of questions. Our rescues have already been through so much, we feel it is in their best interest that trials do not occur. *Exception for Foster-to-Adopt applicants All members of the household must be present during the Home Visit and the Meet and Greet. We do not adopt to families with children under the age of 4. The full adoption fee is due at the time of adoption. We do not offer payment plans.
