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.

BO
Bo is a 3-year-old Bouvier Des Flanders. He weighs 103 pounds. He was left alone a lot and kept escaping from his previous owner. He really just wants to be with his person. He's not one to wander when the owner is nearby. When you're away, you're going to need a secured 6-foot fence as he will do anything in an effort to go with you. He broke his teeth when left in a standard extra-large kennel. He now has free roam or is left in a safe house kennel. He is a devoted dog. Bo has not received much training and will jump on you when excited. He also has been known to have accidents in the house. Bo does not like large dogs, especially outside of the home. He gets along with littles under close supervision. With people he is terrific! He's a total love bug even around children. We are looking for someone with the breed knowledge, owns a home with a 6-foot fenced yard, has training experience, and wants a dog that will follow you to the ends of the earth. Bo does have a medical issue. He has chronic Pancreatitis and requires a low-fat diet. He's really smart. I think he will really come around with the right person. He is neutered, up to date and chipped. and has had a dental. His adoption fee is $275
Carson
Carson is a 13-year-old, 12 lb., wirehaired Terrier mix. Even though he is a senior, he is quite spunky and can dance on his feet! Sadly, he lost his home when his owner went into a busy, senior independent home. He was not welcomed to stay, because he alert barks at strangers. He would like a quiet home perhaps with a senior. He prefers men. Once he gets to know people, he greets them with happy jumping and zoomies. (He really wants to enter a dance contest.)
Carson, as is his breed, can be grumpy with another dominant dog. He needs an owner that understands how to work with an alpha dog.
Carson would love a home with an active senior who will take him on walks and for car rides. He loves to sleep under the covers. He will need a seasoned groomer, because he doesn't enjoy the spa experience.
Carson has had his teeth cleaned and is up to date on vaccines, and he is microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.

Lucky DUCKY
Lucky, a 4-year-old, 11.5-pound Terrier mix, was on the euthanasia list at a Florida shelter, because he was paralyzed. It was his lucky day when a compassionate woman reached out to us, and we scrambled to save his life. While we were dancing through red tape, he began using one leg. The day she was allowed to take him home, he walked right out of the shelter! Our veterinarian said Lucky had experienced a traumatic event affecting a disc, and inflammation had created paralysis. As the inflammation went down, most of his ability to use his legs came back. He still occasionally crosses his rear legs or wobbles. At this time, our doctor said he was past the point of needing steroids or anti-inflammatory medications. He also said Lucky is no longer in any pain; however, there was some damage to the spinal cord that could take up to 9 months to repair and may not all fully come back. Lucky walks, runs, jumps, and climbs stairs with no issues.
In his current foster home, he lives with three dogs his size, and he fits in perfectly. He not a dominant dog and easily meets dog friends. Ideally, we would like to place him in a home where he would have a companion dog about his size as he loves to play. He would also like a home with a fenced yard. Lucky adores toys, and his foster mom says that he has littered the entire house with all the toys! He is treat motivated and wants to please. After a day of activity, Lucky happily snuggles with his foster mom and his pals. He is a lover!
Behaviorally, his foster mom is working on leash training and meeting and greeting strangers. He was found on the streets, so we do not know his history and how he had been treated. Lucky needs to be with an owner that will continue working with him on his training.
Lucky will do best in a household with no small children. He is a terrier and will bark alert. He is crate and potty trained. We are looking for the right owner with the time to devote to him. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $275.

Odin
Meet Odin, an adorable Great Dane mix with possibly black Mouthed Cur in his blood. He weighs 73 pounds. His foster mom says she cannot say enough about how much she loves him. He is a very sweet and social dog. Odin was surrendered to the animal shelter, through no fault of his own, because his owner became sick and was unable to care for him.
Odin is trustworthy in the house alone, potty trained , loves friendly dogs of all sizes, and loves kids and adults, but sometimes does not know his own size. He can be a little shy meeting new people, but a treat turns him quickly into a friend. He is very treat motivated which is great for training. Odin loves to play and run in the morning and in the evenings. He is happy being a couch potato during the day. He likes to be cuddled up close to his people. Odin is a smart fellow; he knows sit, stay, down, and a few other commands. He is not a jumper and only barks when he is very excited. He walks well on a leash and loves to go for car rides.
Odin has a prey drive so no cats or free roaming farm animals. He will chase! His current foster has chickens behind a fence and he does okay with that. Odin is a fabulous companion. He is a sweet and sensitive soul who wants to please.
Odin would do well in a home with another canine buddy his size. We are asking for a home with a big yard for him to play in and an owner that can devote a lot of time to him.
Odin is Neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. His adoption fee is $275.00

SNICKERS
Snickers is a 3-year-old Corgi Cattle Dog (Australian Cattle Dog & Corgi mix) weighing 19 pounds. He came to Misfits after his owner passed away leaving him homeless. He is shy at first, but he quickly becomes your best friend, and he loves to cuddle under covers. He is potty trained.
Snickers is good with most dogs, and he does like to play. He loves playing tug-of-war and frequently runs around with a toy in his mouth showing his prize off. He would enjoy having a fenced backyard. He can get a little food possessive or snap at another dog if they are infringing on him, but he is easily corrected. He does not seem to have a prey drive, but it might take some time for him to get along with a cat.
I would not recommend him for small children. Snickers is used to someone being home all the time, so we are looking for someone with plenty of time to take him on walks, to play and to snuggle. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and his teeth are in great shape. His adoption 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.
