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

Jodi and Tiffany

Meet Jodi and Tiffany, the perfect pair of Maltese/Yorkie mixes looking for their forever home! Jodi is a 2-year-old, 7.4-pound sweetheart, while Tiffany is a playful 1-year-old weighing in at 6.2 pounds. Both girls come from a neglectful background, but they have blossomed into loving companions who quickly warm up to new people. Their bond is truly special; they love to play, cuddle, and even share their favorite chew toys!
These adorable pups would thrive in a home focused solely on them. Ideally, they would do best in an all-adult household, though gentle older children may be considered. While they get along well with other dogs, they would be happiest as the center of attention. Their perfect guardian would be someone who is home most of the time to spoil them with love and affection.
Although Jodi and Tiffany are wonderful lap dogs, they are still young and need regular exercise, which they love to get during walks. They are almost potty trained and currently sleep in kennels until they’re fully trained. Both dogs are up to date on shots, microchipped, heartworm tested, spayed, and have had their teeth cleaned.
We are asking a mere $700 for this delightful pair, having invested nearly $4,000 in their care and preparation for adoption. If you think you’re the perfect match for Jodi and Tiffany, please apply.

Meet Partner, a lovable 7-year-old schnauzer mix with a heart full of joy! Rescued from an overcrowded shelter, he’s now relishing his newfound freedom and is excited to find his forever home.
Partner is an enthusiastic pup who adores walks and outdoor exploration.

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.
