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/

bELLE

Belle was surrendered at the estimated age of 12 years old. She was listed as a silky terrier. She is definitely a mixed breed. She may have some West Highland terrier or Yorkie in her. She weighs 21 pounds. Her owners no longer had time for her, and she was left outside on a rope for 10 hours a day. She is hard of hearing. She will potty outside, but she must be taken out when its time. She will go if she can't get out regularly. She needs a stay-at-home person, MOST of the time. A fenced yard is preferred. She loves walks and is very friendly with people. She does not like riding in the car. She will tremble and drool. She is easy to care for and needs some TLC for her later stage in life. She deserves the love and attention she has missed out on. She is spayed, UTD, and chipped. She has recently had 22 teeth pulled and is on a soft food diet for now. Her adoption fee is $150.

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.
