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.

Bella
Bella is a 10-year-old Cavalier mix who is currently on a weight loss journey. When she first arrived, she weighed 34 pounds, but she has already lost some weight and is down to 28 pounds. Though she still has a way to go, Bella recently started thyroid medication for hypothyroid. This should help with her weight loss. Bella’s previous owner passed away, and the family turned her into a shelter. The shelter staff reached out to Misfits Dog Rescue due to Bella’s obesity, and we are committed to helping her continue her transformation.
Bella is a true people dog and thrives on human affection. While she’s not particularly interested in other dogs, she would love to be the only dog in the home or perhaps have just one sibling. She is looking for a home where her new family will continue with her weight loss progress. The good news is that Bella enjoys physical activity—she loves chasing after a ball and going for walks, which makes her a great companion for someone who enjoys being active. Bella would do well in a quiet, adult household, though she can also get along with children. A yard would be a nice bonus, but it's not a requirement.
Bella travels well and enjoys going on rides. She has already been spayed, and while she had some mammary tumors, they have been removed. She has also had a recent dental cleaning under anesthesia and is up to date on her vaccinations and microchipped. Bella’s adoption fee is $175.

Daphne
Meet Daphne, a sweet and shy 4-year-old, Dachshund/Poodle mix with a heart of gold. Weighing in at just 12 pounds, Daphne has the adorable long body and short legs of a Dachshund, paired with a unique wire-haired coat. Unfortunately, Daphne’s early life wasn’t the easiest. She was living in a home where she didn’t receive the care she deserved, and after her owner passed away, she was left at a high-kill shelter. At the shelter, Daphne was so frightened and shut down that they considered her unadoptable. Thankfully, rescues stepped in, and Daphne is now in foster care.
In her foster home, Daphne has made an incredible transformation! She has blossomed into a loving companion, becoming her foster mom's little shadow and cuddling up whenever she gets the chance. Daphne loves to play fetch. She also loves going for car rides, anything just to be with her person all the more. Daphne is a one-person dog who will follow you to the ends of the earth. However, she does not take to new people very well and is very cautious around them.
Daphne would thrive with a person who is home often and can give her the love and attention she craves. A fenced yard would be ideal, especially at first, as she can be a little skittish in new surroundings and is not accustom to a leash. Daphne is quick and slippery through doorways, so be sure to keep a close eye on her when entering or leaving., she's likely just trying to follow you. She is potty trained and knows how to use a pet door.
Due to her timid nature, we are restricting applicants to homes without children. Older gentle children, on occasional visits, may be okay. Daphne does get tear stains, but there are supplements available to help with that.
Daphne is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $325.

Fritz
Meet Fritz! This sweet 9-year-old Beagle mix may have a few special needs, but he’s still full of love and ready to be your loyal companion. Fritz is deaf, has cloudy eyes, and is living with elevated kidney levels and arthritis in his hips and back legs. Despite these challenges, he gets around just fine and would love to follow you everywhere as your devoted shadow.
Fritz enjoys being outside, and every now and then, he gets a burst of energy and trots around with joy. He loves to go for car rides and walks. He’s comfortable navigating stairs, uses a pet door, and goes potty outside. While he does sleep a lot, he still has plenty of love to give, especially when it comes to neck scratches!
Currently on a special kidney diet and pain medication for arthritis, Fritz is a calm and easy-going 36-pound pup who just needs a soft landing for his golden years. Sadly, he was abandoned during the holidays, but he’s ready to give his heart to a family that will cherish him for the rest of his days.
Please consider making Fritz a part of your family. We’re asking for a $150 adoption fee.

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.
