Misty aka Claire

My story

Hi everyone! My name is Claire ( please use the name Misty when applying, as her name was changed to Claire) and I’m looking for my forever home. I came from a farm in MO. and was supposed to be “ disposed of”, whatever that means, within a few days. Lucky for us my sister and I made it out in the nick of time thanks to a rescue group, and their fosters! I am almost 4 months old, and I’m not really sure what I am, but I definitely have Australian Cattle Dog in me. I weigh about 20 pounds right now and have the appropriate vaccines for my age. I love all people big or small, but because I’m a puppy I’d do best in a home with kids 10 or above. I like other dogs as long as they are not aggressive towards me, if they are I’ll give it right back to them. I don’t like when other dogs try to take my food or toys either, but my foster mom said I have to be nice, so I’m working on it. I like going for walks, but it helps if I have another four legged friend come with, because I like to follow them. My foster mom says I’m getting better at going potty outside, but I think she’s just getting better at realizing my ques. I may whine, but I definitely act like I got ants in my pants and sniff the floor. I might bark at you, too. Let’s see, what else can I tell you… oh, cats! I love chasing cats! I don’t try to hurt them on purpose, but I play rough so my foster mom doesn’t let me play with them. If they just sat still though I wouldn’t chase them, gesh! I am black and white with some tan on my face, but as I’m getting older I have these little black spots showing up on my fur. At first I thought maybe I had dog pox, but my foster mom said I’m fine and it’s called ticking. Not like the bug tick though. I’m working on basic manners, but I get distracted easily. Unless you have treats, then I’ll pay more attention. I’m also learning what it’s like to be crated sometimes. I sleep in bed with my foster mom and sister, way better than sleeping alone in a crate, so I’m usually just crated when no people are home. If you think you can give me a forever home please fill out an application at tiny pawssmalldogrescue.org. You can also email my foster mom, Rachael, if you have any questions. Her email is daisee_gurl@yahoo.com. Adoption fee of $500 required. I’m being fostered in Salem, WI. Thanks for reading about me, and I hope to meet you soon!
