Misty

My story

Meet Misty Misty is an approximately 4-year-old, 10kg (~22lb) cocker spaniel with a quiet way about her. After a difficult start in a puppy mill, she is ready for a brighter future filled with soft places to rest, space to explore, and people who will let her settle in at her own pace. Misty is a sensitive dog who is still learning that people can be safe and predictable. She would do best in an adult home in a rural or small town setting where life moves a little slower. Busy neighbourhoods, and the hustle and bustle of city life can feel overwhelming. Given time and patience, Misty begins to seek connection in her own way, leaning into chest scratches, enjoying brushing, and relaxing beside someone she trusts. Outdoors is where Misty shines. A secure fenced yard is important for her, as she loves sniffing, sunbathing, and stretching her legs. She will play with other dogs and enjoys games of chase. Quiet country roads, trails, and fields are her favourite spaces to go for walks. A quiet shady spot in the garden is her favourite way to spend an afternoon. Misty has done very well with housetraining and has only had a couple of accidents in the house, occurring when her routine was disrupted. She does best with consistency and predictability to help set her up for success. She settles nicely when left alone, and travels well in the car. She has also impressed her veterinary team, happily accepting treats during exams and showing a gentle nature. She is currently being treated for an ear infection and will need ongoing ear care. She is not cat tested, but enjoys chasing squirrels and rabbits in the garden. Misty is looking for a patient home that understands trust takes time. In return, she offers quiet companionship and the joy of watching a dog discover comfort, safety, and happiness at her own pace. June 6, 2026, 5:19 pm
