My story
Meet Misko - A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Safe Place to BloomMisko is a soft-eyed, black and white husky mix with a heart that's still learning how to trust. At still such a young age, she's had a tougher start than most - picked up by animal control with her brother, separated, and then reunited in a shelter setting where fear took the driver's seat. Her bond with her sibling helped her come out of her shell, but it's clear she thrives when she has space to grow independently, especially with the guidance of another well-balanced dog.Currently in foster care, Misko is making small but meaningful progress. While she's still fearful of direct handling, she accepts food gently, licks fingers with curiosity, and finds comfort in the presence of calm, older dogs. She's crate trained, nearly housebroken, and has shown no aggression toward humans - just a bit of food guarding around other dogs, which is understandable given her background.Misko's ideal forever home is quiet, patient, and experienced - with a fully fenced yard, a calm and confident resident dog to guide her, and humans who understand that trust is earned slowly. She's not ready for busy environments or first-time dog owners, but in the right hands, this shy pup has the potential to become a loyal, loving companion.If you're someone who finds joy in the quiet victories - a tail wag, a gentle nuzzle, or a pup sleeping soundly knowing she's finally safe - then Misko might be the soul dog you've been waiting for.Ready to help Misko write her second chapter?
