My story

Meet Misty, a 3-year-old Hound mix who was rescued as a stray in Palm Beach County and brought to Big Dog Ranch to begin a new chapter. She's a soulful and sensitive girl who has faced uncertainty early in life and is now looking for a patient, understanding adopter who can help her feel safe and secure. Misty has a moderate energy level—she enjoys outdoor time and engaging in stimulating activities, but she also appreciates quiet time and a calm environment. While she can be affectionate with those she trusts, she is a shy and timid dog who will need time to warm up and build confidence. Because of her background and behavioral needs, an adult-only home is preferred, and she would do best with an experienced adopter—someone who has worked with fearful dogs before and understands how to provide a structured, low-pressure environment. Misty is a known flight risk, so secure fencing and close supervision are absolutely essential. She can coexist well with other dogs and may benefit from the companionship of a confident, balanced canine friend. However, she is not good with cats due to her prey drive, and not suitable for homes with children. Misty also has some protective tendencies when it comes to food with both people and other dogs, so she will need an adopter committed to ongoing behavioral support. Misty may not be the easiest dog at first, but for the right person—someone who’s calm, consistent, and committed—she has the potential to become a devoted, grateful companion. She just needs someone willing to give her the time and space to shine.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Misty, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
