Hey, friend! Misty here.
I'm still young and full of beans, with a whole lot of love (and a few zoomies) saved up for the right person.
I'm on the bigger side — but honestly, that's just more of me to hug.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that worry you — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
I'd love to meet you. But if I'm not quite the one, maybe you could do me one tiny favor — print my bio and pop it up somewhere a future best friend might spot it. Who knows, I might see you at the park someday! Either way, thank you for stopping by and giving me a moment. It really did mean a lot. — Misty 🐾
The rescue’s notes on Misty
This dog is available to meet by appointment only. Misty, a Pit Bull Terrier mix around 2.3 years old and weighing 52 pounds, may be shy at first. However, with consistent handling and support from her dog friend Brody, she's slowly started to come out of her shell and show us her playful, bubbly personality. This high-energy girl is looking for experienced adopters in an adult-only home who can continue helping her build confidence while providing structure, patience, and safe socialization. Misty would do well with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with dog friends outside the home. Please submit an adoption questionnaire to meet her.
Misty is listed by Oakland Animal Services in Oakland, ca. Adoptions are handled directly by the rescue.
