You are  welcome to fill out an application for a dog you have knowledge of but is not posted on this website. All applications must have a specific dog in mind for us to begin the adoption process. I'm sorry we are not staffed to process applications for general future reference. We also depend on you to let us know if you are interested in a dog you see. We are not set up to recall individuals with requests for a dog based on descriptions of what they are looking for.  Please visit our Facebook page to see the dogs as they come in.   https://www.facebook.com/TheMisfitsDogRescue/

BUDDY 

Buddy II is a 12-year-oldold, 58-pound Pit Bull Terrier mix. He is accustom to being an outdoor dog, but is learning the comforts of indoors. He has not pottied in the house. He takes a thyroid pill twice a day and has some hearing impairment. Otherwise, he appears to have no other medical issues. When we first got him, we had 3 enormous 1-pound lipomas removed from him. He is feeling so much better without the pain of those. We also had his teeth cleaned and a few removed. He does sleep a lot but gets very excited to see his foster Mom. He's a very sweet dog who has had a very tough life. We are looking for someone with a big heart to offer Buddy the comfort of his own home for the final chapter of his life. He doesn't ask for much and gets along well with others. His adoption fee is our standard $150 for seniors. He is neutered and UTD. 

Clovis

Clovis is a poodle mix. He weighs 21.2 pounds. he is a non shedder. His hair is not curly, but it has been shaved off. He was so severely matted his ears were glued to his neck. We can't wait to see how gorgeous he will be in no time at all. Max was wandering a dump site for months. He had fleas and all kinds of debris in his coat. He also had tape worms. Many people tried to catch him but were unable. A trap was set but he was too smart for it. After a solid two months, he was finally caught. He has a broken tail that has healed on it's own. He had a broken canine that we have removed. He has no more worms or flees.. "Clovis"' means to fight for survival. That's exactly what he had to do. Today he is sweet and loving but still a little leery at first. We have not seen any people aggression, but he can get in an argument with another dog over food. he is gradually learning to be an indoor dog and is doing great with potty training. He has a very sweet sole. He seems much happier with canine friends around. Naturally we want to find the person that can offer Clovis a life of bliss that he has never known. Please have a fenced yard. He is a flight risk until he gets settled into his new home. Clovis is neutered, chipped and UTD. We are asking $275 for his donation fee.

Eclair

Eclair is very sweet 8 year old, unless you are a Veterinarian or groomer! LOL! She is also in need of a constant companion. She whippers if you dare stop petting her. She is potty trained. She is a Shih Tzu/ Lhasa mix. She is a non shedder. She weighs 23 pounds and is in much need of some walks and a diet. This dog does need a lot of attention and may need sedation for grooming. We are unware of her past, She was turned into a shelter by her owners who said they could not afford her medical care. She needed a dental, had a UTI and irritated ears. She also had a cyst on her left hip. and kennel cough. We took care of all of that. Unfortunately she still has a condition we can't fix. She has severe arthritis of multiple joints and hip dysplasia. At this time she gets around just fine. She goes up and down stairs and everything. But this condition will worsen with time. I believe she has several happy years left in her. She just needs the right person to show her that grace. Her adoption fee is $200. She is spayed, chipped, UTD and has had a recent dental. 

Max

Max is a Bichon mix. He is 2 years old and 12 pounds. He came to us neglected and severely matted. He is a very sweet dog with a lot of playfulness in him, but he is still a bit skittish. He would love to live in a world full of love, walks , and play. Because he is skittish we are asking for no families with small children that might scare him with their quick movements and loud noises. He enjoys other dogs and would like access to a back yard. Because Max was neglected, we are looking for someone who will do the opposite and make him their world. He is neutered, UTD and chipped. His adoption fee is $275. 

Peanut

Peanut is a one-year-old Chihuahua. He weighs 5.8 pounds. He came from an abusive household and became very aggressive. He is learning to trust again and needs an adopter that has a lot of time and patients. He does take treats and will allow pets, but on his terms. He is playful with other dogs. He is potty trained to a pet door. This dog has been with us since for a long time and still remains a skittish biter. Please do not apply if you can't take on a dog that you cannot pick up without getting bit. His adoption fee is $150. 

Turpin

Turpin is a 6 year old male Poodle mix. He weighs 31.6 pounds. He has hair is wavy, not curly. He is a non shedder and does not produce tear stains. He is potty trained but does need some obedience training. He does not come when called so he will need to learn that right away. He loves to cuddle and be loved. No small children please. He does have a bite history, but the person was trying to break up a dog fight at the time. Turpin gets along with all the other Misfit dogs with the exception of a couple of tiffs over treats. This guy has a prey drive, so definitely no cats. He loves to go for car rides and walks. We are looking for someone who is active and wanting to take him on a lot of outings. A 6 foot fenced in yard is required. His adoption fee is $275. He has had a recent dental, is chipped and UTD. 

To prospective adopters;

​It is true rescuers are more particular of who they adopt dogs too. 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.
