All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped, and have their teeth cleaned if needed.
All applications must have a specific dog in mind for us to begin the adoption process. I'm sorry but we are not staffed to process applications for general future reference, and we are not set up to recall individuals with requests for a dog based on descriptions of what they are looking for.

Ducky
Meet Ducky, an adorable 9-pound, 3-year-old, Maltese with a personality as lively as his name suggests! Ducky joined the Misfits Dog Rescue in December 2023 after being surrendered to a shelter due to some behavioral challenges. Since then, we’ve been working hard with him, and while he’s made significant progress, he still has a bit of a spicy streak.
Ducky is a little dynamo who absolutely loves playing fetch and would excel in agility training. He’s clever and eager to learn, although he does have a bit of trouble focusing at times. He’s also made great strides with his barking—he’s much quieter now and no longer as frantic as he used to be.
One of Ducky’s key characteristics is his dominant nature. While he’s improved and gets along well with most dogs, he can occasionally be a bit of a bully. He’ll do best with an experienced owner who can provide consistent training and set clear boundaries.
Potty training is still a work in progress for Ducky, partly because the shelter environment isn’t ideal for this type of training. However, he wears belly bands comfortably, which helps manage any accidents. Ducky would thrive in a home where he’s the only pet and where someone is around frequently to work with him.
Despite his quirks, Ducky is incredibly cute, spunky, and full of personality. He’s friendly but can be protective due to his dominant nature, so it’s important that he knows you’re the boss. Ducky is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and chipped.
Ducky's fee is $275

To prospective adopters:
It is true rescuers are more particular of who they adopt dogs to. We see all the horrible treatment of animals every day. We literally rescue dogs from the poor or abusive treatment of humans. In my personal opinion, society has evolved to where owning a dog is a right and privilege. Most people consider only what they want and not what is right for the dog. That is why once a dog is in our hands, and consequently in our hearts, we make sure that anyone who adopts an animal from us has a good life to offer the dog. It is not an easy task. Everyone wants a dog. We try to screen people first before getting too involved with helping them find a dog, or we would be simply selling dogs. We are also a strictly a volunteer organization. Most of us work at least part-time jobs. Our time to the rescue is valuable and limited. We believe that anyone who is sincerely a wonderful potential adopter will endure the process.
