MISTY

Breed: Terrier<br/>Age: 1 year<br/>Weight: 8 lbs.<br/>Adoption Fee: $225<br/><br/>Meet Misti, a sweet little terrier who looks like a poodle!<br/><br/>Misti came from a hoarding situation where there were simply far more dogs than people. Because of this, she missed out on many of the everyday experiences and socialization that help dogs develop confidence and feel comfortable in the world.<br/><br/>Right now, Misti is quiet, shy, and cautious around new people and unfamiliar situations. She is not aggressive and has never shown any signs of biting—she's simply unsure of the world around her. With patience, kindness, gentle handling, and plenty of positive experiences, we hope she will continue to gain confidence.<br/><br/>We can't promise exactly how much Misti will come out of her shell, but we do know that she deserves the opportunity to learn that life can be safe and wonderful.<br/><br/>Misti is looking for a family who understands that she isn't the type of dog who will immediately run into your arms. Instead, you'll need to let her set the pace, give her time to feel comfortable, and earn her trust. With patience, consistency, and love, the bond you build with her can be incredibly special.<br/><br/>Because of her timid nature, we believe Misti would do best in a home with children 12 years of age or older who can understand and respect her need for time and space as she adjusts.<br/><br/>We’re happy to speak in detail with anyone interested in adopting Misti to help determine whether she is the right fit for your home. She isn't a difficult dog—she's simply a young dog who needs someone willing to show her that the world can be a safe, loving place.<br/><br/>If you believe you can give Misti the time, patience, understanding, and love she deserves, we would love for you to complete an adoption application. <br/><br/><br/>ARF does not do out of state adoptions<br/><br/><br/>How to Adopt a Dog from ARF<br/>Animal Rescue of Fresno is a Volunteer Managed & Operated Dog Rescue.<br/>We are available by Appointment Only. <br/>Adoptions begin with an Approved Application you can find the application at our website at www.arf-fresno.com <br/><br/><br/>Application can be found in the drop-down menu above, click "ADOPT" <br/>Mobile users click three lines at top of page to see "ADOPT"<br/>Business Hours: By Appointment Only<br/><br/>We will review each submitted application, then contact the approved adopter via email.
